An off topic item that is about an issue where people have strongly opposing
views such as politics, religion, and so on is a very different animal from
one that's just commentary or debate.

I still would. I'd want to know what part of their military service
involved them getting outfitted like that. If they're outfitted like that
it's likely they were special forces and not regular soldiers.
That brings up another point. In the North America of 2060 it's very likely
that many of the nations have a draft. With all those other countries around
you and the politics very unstable you'd want a ready defense. Does
Shadowrun say anything on this?

I plan to give out Karma for in depth stories. That means players who go
'above and beyond' the requirements of the 20 questions.
You have a good point there in your 'how can I' comment. I think I'll
mention that one to my players.
