Is this the correct forum?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

I’m not good at this!
Anybody else a teensy bit uncomfortable with all the top generals and admirals from all over the world being summoned by an idiot to be in the same room at the same time - because…reasons?

Macho flex which is one of the most idiotic things I’ve seen.

I despair.

that he devised a "General Forum" to discuss topics like generals!

The Lounge is more a place to talk about lost keys, cute kitties and entertainment.

Don't take it personally if this thread gets "locked," Tom. You'll get the hang of things.

There are some DU folks who will be quick to report you for being in the "wrong" forum. I think a polite redirection or suggestion is a better way to do that.
