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 evolving
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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

As a veteran I want an all volunteer force. None of that enlist or jail bullshit either.
Agreed. When Military contractors are pushing this. They don't have the People's best interests. Only profitable forever Wars.
Just look at Israel - this is their model. They want to create forever wars. Now if you want to create a National Militia program that you can voluntarily join to learn valuable skills I would get behind that. Something like Boy Scouts for adults who learn how to shoot, medical training and basic tactics.
You mean the Israeli government? Like parts of the US government do evil shit? And every other government on earth? Stop feeding the shills with the joooooz hate. Or go back to bluesky where they're the experts.
Not sure what you are trying to say. My point is Israel has a four year mandatory military service requirement for all their citizens at age 18. I support a voluntary military service option for our country.
Great idea.
