Neither I nor any other mod has said that this forum is restricted to Military Aircrew (despite its title), though the demand for that to be so is ever there from the more puritanical of your aircrew colleagues! However, it is here for the discussion of items directly pertinent to military aviation. Inevitably, the line between what is and what isn't relevent is blurred, and occasionally the focus of this forum strays beyond its declared (by Pprune and its owners) remit. Often, as in any of our forums, those threads that don't fit within that remit are either moved or, if there's no obvious Pprune forum for the topic, it is closed. On rare occasions, perhaps because of legal or taste concerns, the topic will be removed.
It is not the intention that this forum should be a discussion area for all things military; we run the risk of alienating the core readership of this forum, who are military aircrew. It's not enough to say that all military subjects necessarily concern aircrew because some individual who works on aircraft/cooks meals/guards the gate might be distracted by his concerns and thus affect flight safety; that is simply an argument for having no boundaries whatsoever. Without boundaries there is no focus, and without focus the forum has no useful function beyond being a virtual crewroom. That is not our intention for this place.
However, as you can see, the topic is open for discussion - so long as it stays on-topic, and remains free from insult, abuse and snide sarcasm.
