Should there be a real life military forum?

It's only a matter of time till there's no reason to have a seperate forum for Nemesis. Why not replace it with a forum for articles on real-life militaries? Fanfic authors could get some practical data on real-life armies, and I wouldn't have to go combing through the other forums for Sheppard's interesting tidbits.

There is already a private military forum for military members.

Well what about people like myself, who aren't in the military?

I see no point. We already have one for starters, and its traffic is not that great. With the boards most intrested already present on it, I don't think we'd see a real big spike if a open one with the same topic was created.

PM Coyote, assuming you have or currently are serving in a military unit.

Then there is the Heavy Armour Brigade, which is Just for those of us with an interest in real world militaries. We also grind mecha fanwhores into the mud. To get into that you ask me.
