Imagine not leaking your confidential information to War of Thunder.

THIS COMMENT WAS SPONSORED BY WAR OF THUNDER

I think War Thunder players have leaked info like 14 times now lol

If governments really did have crashed alien ships they've been reverse engineering since the 50's as some conspiracy and UFO believers theorize, we would have had proof of it posted to the War Thunder forums by now.

Frømandskorpset sounds Danish. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Are you aware of the Greenland news this week?

Does the UK "claim" Canada because of their relationship to the crown?

The UK did claim Canada, along with most of North America, in the Royal Proclamation of 1763. Canada was granted progressively more autonomy over time but the UK still maintained ultimate sovereignty until the Canadian constitution was patriated. The UK effectively ceded its sovereignty over Canada when UK parliament passed the Canada Act 1982.

Denmark granted Greenland autonomy with the 2009 Act on Greenland Self-Government, but Denmark still maintains the authority to modify Greenland's constitutional arrangement. So, much like the UK still held sovereignty over Canada prior to 1982, Denmark still holds sovereignty over Greenland. Apparently there have been some efforts to draft a constitution for Greenland, but that has not been passed into law by Greenland's lawmakers nor has it been patriated by Denmark.

This makes sense. I completely understand this thank you.

Ooohhh.

I did not realize until this moment that I didn’t understand their relationship correctly.

It's not the same as the UK-Canada relationship either though, because the UK isn't responsible for Canada's defence and foreign policy.

Yes, but mostly because it’s a rock in the middle of the ocean, albeit a really big one.

Don’t touch our rock collection.

Oh so this is more of a pedantic thing than an actual reasonable difference gotcha.

I don't think it is for the people on the inside.

It's comparable to saying: no, Scotland is not in England, Scotland is in the UK and England is in the UK.

Yeah, saw the headline about what the clown said. But what does that have to do with any seals that write books? That's what I am lost about.

In the American special forces branch of the Navy, you receive extra Sausages, Eggs And Lard (S.E.A.L) in your rations, so these people are called "Seals".

Obviously, after a few years of eating so much extra greasy food, they're no longer capable of participating in military operations, so tend to retire and write books about what they did at work.

I think that's correct anyway - don't quote me on it.

Slight reflection off of the rim of the front facing holes on the helmets.....I think

They could actually be Cat-eye friend or foe markers . They're luminescent strips usually put on the back of the head or shoulders that reflect just enough light to see someone is ahead of you in dark spaces.

Most military helmets or hats have them. At least the ones I know of.

Zoomed in it appears to actually be reflection off the edge of the front mounting holes in their helmets.
