We already have a newsgroup that can be used for discussions of the
military.  Net.general should be used for discussing all ranks, not
just generals. This is the same as using net.columbia to discuss all
colleges, not just the one university which the group was named for,
and net.med for things of all sizes. After all, we don't have a
net.sm, net.large, or net.x-large - do we?

That's how problems start around here.  People read the name of
a newsgroup and get the wrong idea.
