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. 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.

Warning shots killing the target was also a running gag on Generation Kill (2008) show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Less of a gag, and more of nightmares for life, the way it was depicted

Col. Sanders, who made this man a gunner!?

The Red Man pouch was a nice touch

Unfortunately I am just a thief who did not make the meme

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You can't steal a meme, friend. Once somone owns it, it's not a meme

Can't find a link to the story right now but this happened at base in Iraq or Afghanistan. MP was instructed to fire a warning shot at truck that didn't look like it was going to stop for the gate but the MP shot and killed the driver instead. I can't remember if the truck blew up or if they found the explosives in it when they searched it after the drivers death but either way if the MP hadn't killed the guy they would have had a truck bombing in the base or at the actual gate.

I'm certain the military killing of a guy with a warning shot that was investigated by the military was as the military states actually a good thing, and a happy miracle.

Also, no, it wouldn't have. If they ignore the warning shot, the next shot isn't a warning. They don't let the guy get into the base, they don't let them approach the gate, they don't approach the truck until the operators are out, they aren't dumb. The military has procedures for this and when a warning shot is applicable, they have ample oportunity for a kill shot afterwards

The military is fairly well trained as a whole

The American military is, at least.

Some other militaries...not so much. Not mentioning names.
