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.

Truly noncredible, I know, but I had the idea pop into my head and couldn't let it go.

USMC Aviation was put over US Army Aviation because US Army Aviation doesn't operate the sexier forms of fixed-wing aircraft.

"Most powerful" instead of "Largest" used on purpose.

If you don’t think the Apache is sexy, you’re not an aviation enthusiast.

Apache let's us window shop. It knows we're coming home with it.

We're married not buried

The German Sea Tiger Marine helicopter, although not an attack helicopter, gives me funny feeling in my pants when I see it in pictures.

Looks like a MI-17 had a baby with a UH-60.

You like that aircraft… check out the CH-53K King Stallion. They’re not without their problems, obviously, but if you’ve got to get it off the ground… there’s nothing the US has at least that has a comparable lift capacity.

I always feel the Air Force looks down upon close air support in favor of their more strategic mission. But they would never let the Army take CAS from them.

In case my opinion isn't obvious, Everyone else has planes, why not the Army too?

Nice, number 3 is a sub branch of number 2 even if they don't want to admit it. Your point still stands tho.

Nah the Navy and the Marines are both under the Department of the Navy, but they do way different things. Marines mostly get rides from the Navy and the Navy don't fuck with land, they let the crayon eaters do that.

Navy Seabees fuck with land. They built many things for us. I got my first shower in months in the middle of a desert because of them.

originally it was the Army Air Corps, then Army Air Forces for a while during WWII
