Hmm. As I was the instigator of the Somalia thread I would be interested to know why it was deemed appropriate to lock it without explaination.
Given the heated discussion as to the legality of our action in Iraq, added to the intense interest throughout the services regarding the scope and ultimate intent of GWOT, I would have thought that this is exactly the type of discussion that should be encouraged. It's also the lead headline on the BBC News website for goodness sake! Are we to ignore it?
Or, more cynically, maybe it's that I haven't subscribed to PPRuNe and has been seen elsewhere (JB for example) this exposes me to thread closure without comment from the Mods. A PM to explain would be nice!
