I know it is probably annoying to get so many questions from newbies, but I was hoping yall could help me understand a little about the Q posts. Does he capitalize certain words for a reason? Is it some sort of code, or just to give emphasis? Same question with the brackets.

imo- yes, for emphasis. Cap letters can reveal a theme or direction.
[brackets] are kill-boxes, targets.
Killboxes are an interesting military call-out, perhaps familiar to people who know the culture either in fiction or real-world contact, but mysterious to others. From my understanding of this from when it was first mentioned by Q, its synonymous with a laser style target designator. "painting the target" if you will, so that guided munitions and weapon systems that look for the laser indicator can autonomously and independently home in on the target.
Also hearkens back to the older WW2 and earlier style tech where a grid coord can be designated a 'killbox' with this being communicated to all artillery, rockets, bombers, howitzers and the like nearby with the imperative that they all open fire with whatever ordnance they have in range of the target area. Turning anything at the coordinate into a wreck or a red mist.
So someone that will be receiving inbound fire in the near future.
good post I learned something!
