A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Meanwhile in Canada, you can grow a beard now while getting raped in a black-mould-filled bucket for 4 years.

Widespread sexual abuse and dangerously moldy ships are two notable scandals the Canadian forces have had recently, as part of a larger growing infamy, and terms of service last a lot longer than in America. Their response to beef up recruitment is... relaxed facial hair restrictions.

Fixed. For whatever reason, it's always hard to catch those little errors in the first draft. I know it's "their", but my fingers think it's all the same.

What I think needs to happen, without being deeply involved, is just a top-to-bottom rethink of the organisation. When I read about the Canadian forces, it sounds like they're still set up like a British Empire garrison, basically. That speaks to young Canadians neither ideologically nor as a desirable workplace. Also, just having actual funding for things like removing toxic mould would be good.
