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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

What is the difference usmc and the navy? Honest question.
If you ask a Marine they'll confirm that they're a department of the Navy, but then qualify it as "the men's department" before devolving into a yut-fest
Well, they often enjoy eating a variety of crayons, for one?
USMC is an independent branch, but does serve under the Navy. They used to be completely independent, until they were placed under the Navy in 1834.
Different responsibilities, roles, training, structure, culture, etc... but they still report to the secretary of the Navy.
I wanna know what Navy Seals eat
Most seals subsist on fish, but depending on the species they may also eat crustaceans, krill, or penguins
Seals. It's in the name.
Don't they use Marines to man the brig on ships?
Not sure where I heard that, so could totally be talking out my ass here.
Historically, yes. The Marines were responsible for discipline on the ship, including arresting sailors, guarding the officers, and manning the brig.
Easy, the navy flies the big boats and the USMC get set loose to weed out a country's crayon supply.
From what I heard while joining the marines were originally the ones that would defend the crew of military vessels.
Like in old ship combat if your ship was boarded the marines were the ones fighting them off.
Water? Idk
