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.

Jokes on them, I'm on land.
Ok pal
Well, I'm inside a house. Good luck hitting me!
Captain, we're going to need a new tactic. Operative 15 has found a gaping flaw in our capabilities.
Shipmate you gotta study more recce
State-sanctioned cat-boys.
Morale liaison
Girlfriend is for on land only.
either the navy becomes full of lesbians or they'll hand out state bf
time to hodl untill state gf
Yeah, that's actually the least dumb one after a stable job. Everyone wants money, status and love. Even pride in your nation can be cringe, depending on how justified that pride actually is.
Of course, women are not objects, so I'm unclear how they would pull handing them out off... It's going to be a robot RealDoll thing, isn't it?
They could probably get girls signing up if they posted ads saying that they're looking for stay at home girlfriends/boipussy for servicemen. Lots of states with no easy way to escape have desperate people unfortunately.
Yeah, but you can already dependa without government help. I guess just a sugardaddy-style dating site run by the DoD, then?

Free healthcare and commissary access already causes marriages. A defined length contract wouldn't be the worst thing in human history. But I'm not sure it's up to modern ethical standards.
If you can't leave early, yeah it wouldn't be. If you can I don't really see what that adds.
Arguably legal marriages that are hard and expensive to leave are anachronistic themselves.

As a German who was raised long after WW2 let me just say that pretty much all pride in your nation is pretty cringe, no matter how justified. The one exception would be maybe if you had a major part in improving your nation personally.

They already do that, but the gf's name is always Jody. Who do you think writes all those Dear John letters?
Which state though? I hope North Dakota, those cold weather women love to cuddle
Idk, wojak ads sound pretty appealing.
Where's the FPS game?
Been done, and didn’t work. Players complained of “Slow weapon upgrades” and “No character progression” and was received poorly, needs more gritty realism.
Or explosions
What's funny is I know someone with like, 2000 hours in that game. And it just happened to be his favorite fps, nothing to do with the army propaganda.
It’s honestly a solid lane shooter FPS, but it falls flat of the Battlefield killer it could have been. Enough realism and no respawns to make you treat it seriously, but it’s also not ArmA levels of “welp, time to respawn and drive/walk to the objective for 15 minutes”
Plus doing the training unlocks the squad role slots for online play, get that season pass shit outta my face

It's well balanced, has great level design, and the game mood is serious enough that the scenarios and matches are taken serious too. It's rare to have someone run in guns blazing for more than a couple matches. Overall, it has a fun gameplay loop that takes itself seriously without being over the top. They know it's a recruiting tool, so it has to be good enough that folks want to play.
AA2 and AA3 were fucking fantastic, despite AA3 becoming early access abandonware within like ten seconds of its release. AA4 was awful.
I heard they had to limit people at West Point from playing as all the cadets were learning to shoot first and ask questions later.
Some units did use it as a training tool, but only in conjunction with actual classes and closed matches. So wacky game stuff was very much not allowed. You had to move and fight as a team. For what it's worth, when I organized some guys to work like a real fireteam the game massively rewarded it in public matches.
For shoot/don't shoot training without a designated training area (the infamous back 40 of most bases) the Army uses a laser system with compressed air guns. A video plays and you're expected to interact with it like you would in real life. So there's a trainer there noting the exact moment you went lethal, if you did the correct de-escalation before hand, and your marksmanship after you start shooting. The scenarios also have branching possibilities so you can't just recognize which one is which. You actually have to work the problem and hope for the best.

They made the most realistic game and people complained it wasn't real enough. I will never forget that. And the slow weapon upgrades was because there weren't any originally. Then you had to complete a stealth mission with one possible path that you had to crawl through for an hour. And the weapons weren't available on every map.
In many ways the game proved we didn't want super realism. We wanted fake realism with tactical fashion.
I enjoy a good FPS, even military sim styles like Battlefield, but that also why I wouldn't join the real military. I enjoy it as a game, a fantasy where none actually get physical injured and everyone goes home at the end of a battle. I've seen enough "video game" violence to know I have zero desire to see the real thing or do such things to other people.

Think it belongs before or after the Dodge Charger?
Before. America’s Army dropped for the PC in ‘02. I feel like grunts were getting chargers from like 06-current. Could be wrong though
Dodge charger
clearly not a dodge charger
Is this subtext meme or is NCD just extra not credible today?
That's not a Dodge Charger? Is it a Dodge, though? I'm not good on my car politics
It is the similarly named but starkly different 'dodge challenger'
Cars aren't really our strong point, just look at all the "Toyota Hilux" memes, where the vehicle is actually a 70 series cruiser.
But that's a Challenger.
If you know what model that is you're too painfully American to come back from there, my condolences.
To be fair if you've seen a charger and a challenger before, you'd be able to tell pretty quick. My brain interprets it is charger built like matchbox; challenger like hot wheels.
Yup, there's a reason that particular campaign didn't work out.
What is the ratio of GF per recruit? I propose 1 GF to 10 recruits for optimal taxpayer expenditure.
Also no condoms
Sloppy 9ths pls
...they're called dependapotamuses and they're already a thing...
State sponsored big titty goth GFs for all
Maybe I'll be able to get a commission. 🤔
1 sloppy BJ per recruit
This is the first meme i laughed aloud at in a couple days--well played, op
"STD Treatment/Health Care" should be between Egirl and Wojak. Just sayin.
