Greetings, and welcome to the World Affairs Board!
The World Affairs Board is the premier forum for the discussion of the pressing geopolitical issues of our time. Topics include military and defense developments, international terrorism, insurgency & COIN doctrine, international security and policing, weapons proliferation, and military technological development.
Our membership includes many from military, defense, academic, and government backgrounds with expert knowledge on a wide range of topics. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so why not register a World Affairs Board account and join our community today?
Make it easier and let us talk about anything without breaking the guidelines?
You can talk about anything. If the primary post is about military, post it in the region specific section. Otherwise post it by type, in the political, social & economic, or pub sections. Personally I like the way this board is set up. I'm less interested in the military aspects, when compared to the political/socioeconomic issues, so it works out well for me. ;)

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry

Ya well thats what I like about it too. But why sort posts geographically AND militarily?
Asian issues/ would be just fine, to discuss just about everything in Asia. And will keep all the posts relevant. I don't think you guys haven't felt that there's a slight naming problem, since there was a post about uniting the military forums. Perhaps the mods need to go about it a different way.
Of course now you'd be wondering what happens to the Pol, soci section. Well the ugly answer is, you gotta figure it out. Infact this section could've been totally avoided and the WORLD in WAB would stay more prominent, by categorizing the forums by continents.
Currently the forum posts are neither centralized nor distributed.
Isnt this world affairs board, not just world military affairs board?
That's why there's a politics/social & economic section, not just military sections...

One of the effects of WAB moving towards a more political orientation away from a military one is that I post less and less. I couldn't stand the suits when I was in uniform, I do not want to start thinking like them when I am now out.
However, one of the side effects is that the few times I do post on military subjects, I do so with absolute authority.

Hmmm too many uniforms around here! Well actually these forums are attracting more and more military personnel onto them.
I myself have been surrounded by military people all my life. Though I myself am not the "sir-yes-sir" types. Some of the most challenging obstacles I've had in my life were by military people, and probably the biggest help I got was from an ex-US Marine, who kinda nudged me towards the career I'm pursuing now.
Ok now that was extremely off-topic, but bear with me, I'm recovering from some health problems.
