NonCredibleDefense
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.

You should see what the brits bring, they had a whole ass bakery at camp leatherneck in Afghanistan.
Morale is extremely important for keeping soldiers in check.
Many militaries learned this the hard way in WW1, where conditions were so bad some countries had to order officers to shoot soldiers that were ignoring orders or even organizing revolutions.
Giving a soldier a little slice of home, sometimes literally with slices of cake and pie, keeps them in line way more effectively than pointing guns at their backs.
That was mostly cuz they spent 2+ years sending them to die in futile frontal assaults. Even with great food eventually people will catch on to the fact they're dying for nothing and mutany
They did that in WW2 as well. I'll find an article about them.

Skimmed a bit of the diary at the link: one part he's talking about setting up the bakery in a factory, next paragraph he's talking about how much he hates the Jerries (Germans) and nobody in his baking unit would take a prisoner, he's itching to slit one of their throats. He calls the Jerries "he."
