If you read the initial posts, you will see that they had this tinch
Ya it does.
First let me clear the confusion.
When i say 'norms' it meant the certain 'Dos n Don'ts' within the military which it don't want to talk about. i don't think a Brit would be happy to discuss the blue prints of Harrier here.
For NATO it might look nice when a reader sees the information regarding amount of weaponry, strength, areas of responsibility and the capability to operate anywhere etc etc freely available on the internet and it might also make a soft hearted person a bit confused and shocked, but we in the indo-Pak scenario are quite wary about it.
We don't like that info regarding specific weapons, locations, procedure, practices, traditions, evolving strategies, upraising of certain new outfits etc etc be discussed publicly. i don't think any indian military member would like to discuss its COLD START STRATEGY here on PDF.
The reality is no one is going to discuss anything that is under the Restricted to Top Secret label.
So simply, the only military issues that can be discussed are those that are public. Surprisingly there is a lot hanging about that is public.
Ok another confusion.
When i say senior memebrs i mean as they have spent more time on the forum they know what all have already been discussed, mso if a new comer
asks a question they can answer it due to the fact that after spending more time on this forum they definitely know more about the military than the baby. So they can either refer him to a specific post or answer him as they know more about certain things.
And yes all the TT are not in the military bracket. But when we say TT in this thread we ofcourse dont refer to a lawyer or doctor
i have opened a thread on indian Bofor gun, let's see how many of you participate in that.
If eyes are kept open, things can get clearer.
Mil pers are still not always clear.
Also it comes to a certain extent in trying to discuss say battalion tactical issues and the manipulation of combined arms with say a Cpl vs a CAPT up. Not being unpleasant just looking at how a discussion would or would not go. It is just perspective level on the concepts.
