If there is a limit to questions... shouldn't there be a limit to meaningless answers as well?

Do a quick search and you will find a lot of info that is open source. |
I did a search through the search engine on this site and nothing came up. I didn't think I needed to go through Google since I thought forums were for asking questions and helping others...

Yes, this is the first question I've had. None of the books I've read said anything about SOTIC.

You need to develop some situational awareness.

It amuses us, get over it.
I did a search through the search engine on this site and nothing came up. I didn't think I needed to go through Google since I thought forums were for asking questions and helping others...
Where does it say we'd "help"???
Special Forces Questions
This is a forum where civilians can "ask" the Special Forces soldiers past and present "Special Forces" related questions.
Those questions are then answered by Special Forces soldiers, period.
Questions asked by the general public should NOT be answered by the "general" public.
If you do not have the title of "Quiet Professional" you may ask a question, but leave the "answers" to the QP's.
Yes, this is the first question I've had. None of the books I've read said anything about SOTIC.
I'm glad to see the classification of "SECRET" is working.
Amen.
Prayer will not help you here.

So sorry you found my answer meaningless. 
I will try to do better in the future but right now I have a sniper course to teach.

LR,
I think you should give this kid his first free sniper training......  Send him out about 1,000 yards and then let him put an apple on his head.....

I wasn't saying everyone had meaningless answers.
If nothing else, at least you guys got some amusement out of my question.
I won't post again until I have a question that is worthwhile and after I've done my research on it. Thanks to all of you.
