This is a two way street, you will also find questions in the civil forums where military issues might come up and you would probably comment on those as he has here.
You’ve got to have a bit of leeway and give-and-take when dealing with subjects like this, after all the main purpose of it is FlightSafety and I think everyone would agree that has to be objective, both civil and military.
