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.

Why. The fuck. Would anyone, Millennial or younger join the US military these days? To fight for oil overseas, while the world is burning? To be the arm of our corrupt politicians? To defend all the houses we will never afford? To protect a populace that yearns for fascism?
The prospects of room, board, health insurance, and a pension are more than enough to entice someone with no better options.
They take it just to sell it back to you.
lmao, who believes you’ll get any of that and not the post nam treatment
I’ve met so many disabled vets suffering and the va/benefits keep getting worse
The nearly free housing, healthcare, and potential for a pension are all decent incentives. Basically everything people want for normal us citizens are provided to the military.
Barring, of course, active duty members who have to deal with deployment and location assignments.
There's also the chance to kill people, so there's that.
Sign me up.
Free college. Depending on where you live; better parking(purple heart), no property tax, unlimited handshakes, and the ability to stare into the middle distance and white-knuckle any moment you are left with your thoughts.
Better parking you say? 🤔
If you live in Europe: to protect your freedom. (may apply to other regions as well)
Good news, in the US, you don't have to join the military to get a gun.
😎 Yeeaahhhh
Based!
Woah woah who tf downvoted this? You're in NCD. This is in fact based.
Sorry, I meant in the US. (Freedom offer no longer applicable, must be 18 years or older)
You know most enlisted aren't in combat roles right? My brother did ten years behind a desk, ended up with an awesome career and got to travel the world for free.
Huh? I didn't mention a single thing about combat roles or personal danger. If you join the military, you're supporting their agenda...
You're fun, but this is NCD, it's all military defense jokey jokes. The only civilian defense we take seriously is Mr. Park and the Roof Koreans. You're not really here, with these filthy rave babies, to persuade them not to join the military? It's far too late for many commenters here, they already have bad knees and a discharge in their rearview mirrors. Try to get some perspective on your audience before you start your Ted Talk.
Hard to find a way to make a living without supporting an unethical agenda, unfortunately.
Yup. The company I work for is a bit less unethical than many others. Nobody's perfect though, and we have a yearly remembrance for people we've killed over the years.
That is very true.
If you work for just about any corporation in the US, you are supporting an equally repugnant agenda.
Welcome to Capitalism.
Name five companies you can work for that don't have an unethical agenda.
Do you not know what any of those terms mean
Tax free liquor and tobacco? 3 meals a day? It was a good enough reason for granpappy to leave the still down in the holler.
It's too credible so I'll whisper it (poverty)
Shootin guns and driving around in big trucks with the boys sounds mad as.
