[CAMPAIGN SPOILERS] What's the deal with Miller and Delta Squad?

[Test Tube]

From what I heard, Miller is the reason it all kicked off in the first place, putting the blame on NATO or something like that. I went with him at the end of the last campaign and he told me nothing and left me to die (the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ =p). And all through the campaigns I never seem to catch any hints of what his squad is up to when they're off in the north of Stratis while I'm blowing up Mike 26 or some such thing. And there's the mystery surrounding that earthquake weapon CSAT apparently have. Is there any actual canon behind all this? Has anyone figured it out yet?

From what i understood, CTRG is here to spy on CSAT (device related ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥), so they are hiding from both CSAT and NATO, to not start a war (the pacific CSAT-NATO tension is escalating, they dont need more fuel for the fire). Once the fight starts, they're stuck between two armies, one that kills everything not hex-shaped nor green, another that doesn't know they're here (because the they're not supposed to be here). Classic "diplomatic" related black ops : they need to know things, and if nobody sees them, they can't be used on diplomacy talks (war still happens tho).
CSAT might know they're here, and that's why they start the fight, but that's only my opinion

If that's the case, if I were Miller, I'd have never alerted NATO forces to my presence. Unless they were already comprimised, or Miller had a rare moment of pity, it seems like it would be easier to try remaining hidden. And we still don't know what actually caused everything to start. One thing I never understood is why the Greenbacks attacked NATO just as they were preparing to leave anyway.

"plot".
I do need to replay the campaign to be more precise about Miller's motivations. As for the AAF, I guess it's the CSAT alliance i guess. CSAT attacks NATO, and they request AAF help, or in that case initiation. AAF is basically the biggest fool here, tricked by CSAT into attacking NATO and let down by when they fled Altis after having triggered the device. To CSAT, Altis just was a testing ground for a bigger scale battle, the pacific (still just my opinion)

Well it's been a while since I actually finished it. I'm only replaying now cuz I lost all my progress. I have a vague memory of Miller transporting something out of Altis at the very end though, so that could be motivation for getting NATO involved, maybe even as a simple distraction. I suppose the AAF got greedy, wanted more power, and so they were suckered in by potential promises of power from CSAT. All speculation, mind you, I don't have any hard facts from the game. I wonder if the new campaign will shed any light on all this.

[LSDoverdose]

I sure hope so. It might even be CTRG-centered, as light armored but heavily armed cars are a SAS trademark (kinda, i'm just speaking my hopes). Also, did you finish the "escape Altis" campaign end mission ? I, for myself, just died in a ditch

No, I got blown up by a mine in the swap to the east. A rather undignified end, perhaps, considering what Kerry went through. Maybe next time though, I like to think I've improved a lot since then. CTRG campaign would be cool, especially since I'm a Brit myself =p. It would be nice to have some proper UK soldiers too, with proper camo and uniforms, alongside the special forces CTRG stuff.
