My uneducated guess is that, as we progress in this COG scenario, some of the generals might have asked for specific clarifications to be able to carry out their duties.
I don't see much else it could be. I'm very encouraged that the language is talking about going with whatever the guys on the ground decide when it's time sensitive. That's the mark of a good chain of command.
edit- and putting the phrase 'good faith' in there multiple times. this is like watching the sky turn light, waiting for the first glimpse of the sun to come into view on the horizon.
Also makes sense that adding a subjective criteria (like good faith) is only safe when we are sure the bad elements have been purged, and the good guys are given the freedom to use their discretion.
If I wasn't 100% confident that patriots are in control, then I would be very worried about that language since those who want to destroy America would have a different view of "good faith".
I wish I was confident that patriots were in control.
