Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I just have a question: x22 always says “the military is in control”. I was listening to patriot radio and a caller made a comment on the father who lost his son in the Afghan withdrawal…my question is, if the military is in control, why did the withdrawal in Afghanistan go down that way? I remind myself this is war.. I get it. I know about optics and the need to wake up Normies. But why at the expense of 13 American heroes? Was the military in control?
There are casualties in war. Sometimes you cant show your hand even though you know you are winning. Could a bigger "mission" be compromised if you show your hand early to save someone from a particular situation? Imagine the noise created before an enemy attacks. There are a few perspectives to think about with these situations.
I have seen firsthand how other entities can intervene, in Afghanistan that is.
