dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Word. And the 2 men 1 rifle thing, afaik, is bs too. The supply situation was very, very bad in Stalingrad, but never so bad that they didn't have enough Mosins for everyone.

so i'm guessing it was more like "rifle for everyone but here's like a few magazines you'll have to scavenge what you can"?

which was absolutely a situation the western allies encountered as well especially the airborne units
