pssh nope
we would know.
troops talk and sure as fuck wouldn't keep a secret like that.
I agree with you waiting sucks. That is 95% of what you do in the military and at war. Imagine being bored as fuck looking at nothing happening with a steady stream of adrenaline. That is most of how a defensive/occupation war goes.
Q said directly guns are safe so if they aren't then it's operation trust for sure. Right now they have the benefit of the doubt. Calling McCains death a month before hand is proof of action enough to wait longer.
