A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
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 ‘western’ 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. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat 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.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

This is not surprising. Lockheed Martin wants to become Omni Consumer Products or Buy And Large, and become a conglomerate multinational corporation in every market.
They're already in the payday loan and prison labor businesses, so they have established big evil corporation cred. I guess military weapons development establishes that well enough.
that's honeywell, or mitsubishi heavy industries
Samsung, Hyundai, etc.
Merck to some degree
Oh, so they just want to be a chaebol.
Wasn't on my 2023 bingo card, but sure wtf not
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Major defense contractors like Raytheon, Boeing and Northrop-Grumman have produced baseball hats, T-shirts and water bottles advertising military-grade weapons like ballistic missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and fighter jets.
Now, Lockheed Martin, the American defense contractor best known as the world’s largest weapons manufacturer, is allowing its brand to be used in the streetwear business.
The pieces range from $30 for a T-shirt to $115 for a nylon zip-up jacket, and are aimed at young consumers of South Korea’s growing streetwear market, where oversize cuts and bucket hats reign supreme.
Doojin’s Lockheed Martin collection harks back to the 2019 gorpcore moment, when outdoor sports infiltrated the season’s biggest trends, including a Louis Vuitton chalk bag for rock climbing, or Prada’s multi-buckled and strapped performance parkas, perfect for any influencer wanting to scale Mount Everest.
It’s all part of a larger trend in South Korea that started around 2020 called K-licensed Brands, said Young Chul Kim, a street style and fashion photographer in Seoul.
The designs and types of products offered by Brand Junkie suggest the company seems to be marketing to a totally different audience than Doojin’s Lockheed Martin Apparel, which is focused primarily on the fashion set.
The original article contains 889 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Slay queen!
Lol is this true? Hahahaha fuckers just fucking everyone for shits and giggle.
Ok but the zip off skirt goes hard
You know what... one part of me kind of secretly (not anymore I guess) loves this timeline.
Are these kevlar and do they have ceramic armor plates?
At last, we have proper tribal clothing. All these years in the wilderness, now we have swag at Cabela's next to the camo wine glasses.
