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.

God I hated war gaming.

Short story time. My job in the army was geospatial Intel, and the amount of shit the contractors would just spawn in was comical. Since we can't really easily spoof satellite imagery for these exercises my section was plugged directly into the simulation and instructed to "not be too good at our jobs." I'm the end we'd just go to the tangos and watch arty get spawn camped by teleporting donovians and the all source dudes trying to explain how a BMP batallion tickled our HQs nuts then disappeared.

Made you earn that Notional Defense Service Medal.

Typical failure to dungeon master, lets fairy dust in some more units in, we have to test the warch floor on an impending attack on the COC.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of the swede with the Carl Gustaf?
I thought not. It’s not a story the exercise planers would tell you. It’s a internet forum legend.
The swede was a weapons operator, so powerful and so wise he could use the power supply to influence his simulator to reload instantly… He had such a knowledge of the timing that he could even keep the ammunition he carried from being used up. The hard reboot is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was getting found out, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, the organizers had to redi parts of the exercise, then his commanding officer chewed him out.
Ironic. He could send tons of HEAT downrange, but he ended up in hot water.
