Somewhat unrelated to another thread, I was wondering if we could get together to put some things straight (or maybe someone has done the work already, and can just point me into the right direction).
I was wondering about military procedure in the Wing Commander universe the other day. I see structures closely resembling the U.S. forces, and in discussions we mostly take it for granted that the structures we have today are being followed in the future in the same way.
But call me a deluded European, but somehow this doesn't quite fit. The Confederation is a democratic republic originally uniting Earth's nations and forming the military forces as a joint operation.
So can we assume that U.S. procedures and protocols were just accepted as standard for global/universal operations?
Or maybe to start a notch further down, what do we know about Confec procedure?
