That sucks. Is their any particular reason they wont use it on EU besides office politics

The_Chieftain: I don't think politics has anything much to do with it.
Minsk just put forward an accelerated timeline for this one
(Sentinel) which makes translation into the EU supported languages
unfeasible, especially given the amount of technical and specialist
verbiage used in these videos.
Plus, there's the matter of "public facing" and it's the same reason why, historically, we don't show Challenger's "Inside the Tanks" here as well. The logic is that Challenger is EU's public face, the person that EU relates to and people want to meet. Adding more faces dilutes that effect and simplicity. Our old community head took a similar viewpoint about me, so WGNA doesn't show his material. I presume that given both offices came to similar conclusions, there is logic and reason behind it. Both Challenger and I share each others' videos on our Facebook channels, so the enthusiasts who follow one or the other can still catch the works being put out by the other office.
That said, of late, and with the recent change in organization here, we've been a lot more willing to put more people in the light, such as Meatheadmilitia and Pizzastorm, so I think the operation here has moved to a consensus that there's no harm in putting a few faces out there. Is continued EU/NA segregation a good thing? I don't understand it myself, but just because I don't understand it doesn't mean it's without merit. I just personally wanted the audience boost for visibility, I'm not pushed about the long term decisions.
Anyway, you can expect a video filmed by the two of us to show up some point next week. I, sadly, embarrass myself and the American people in it with an utterly unforgivable lapse in a follow-up video.
As an aside, I think you're being a little hard on Challenger on the accuracy thing as well. He's usually fairly on it, and after doing this for four years, I've become a little more realistic about expectations of total perfection and you guys are making it sound like he gets things wrong as a matter of routine. With regards to the TED talk, I do have one concern with the General's position: His implication that being around firearms should make most people uncomfortable and that it's a good thing. It is arguable that his position makes sense in the Netherlands, a fairly densely populated area with good infrastructure with no particularly dangerous animals, but I think he should take his logic about using 'the gun' to further rights should be taken to the logical conclusion of his own citizens at the lower scale.
