interesting read, i've always felt that the wikis lack perspective.
it also shows the need for organization especially when in a joint effort with other alliances, something that our side seems to have and the other side seems to almost avoid.
i wasn't around when these old wars took place, but from what i've understood is that IRON never felt close to GATO or had any good reasons to. history, both in CN and in RL, shows that one tends to stress hints that support the most prefferable case and override and ignore those that point to a direction against his interests.
despite the fact that you have taken part in such events and should have learned from them, it seems that you unfortunately haven't, given that, from what i undestand, your affiliation with GPA contributed significantly to their downfall.
anyways, good luck and keep them coming
