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.

I think its typically up until there's a war on, then suddenly its "Jesus Christ dude, settle down".
My favourite "wtf, Canada?" anecdote is during the famous WW1 Christmas peace. A group of Canadians crawled close enough to hurl canned ham into the German trenches. Once a large number of German soldiers had gathered to try to nab a can, they switched from ham to hand grenades.
Holy shit. That's basically how the Canadian airborne murdered Shidane Arone.
Not only are we war crimey, we're uncreative.
Not really the same, according to the linked wikipedia article Arone was beaten, burned and raped with broomstick. So basic torture, which is still uncreative though.
Edit typo
IIRC the Airborne soldiers used food as bait to lure hungry kids into the compound so they attack them. Kinda like throwing tins of food into trenches.
That's two different incidents both in March of 1993.
March 4th the Canadian troops stored food and water so it was visible from a public area and had a sniper set up to defend the food. Two thieves were shot several times in the back (in self defense /s) when the thieves continued to run after warning shots having been fired. One of the thieves allegedly even continued to fight while unconscious, because the killing shot was done to the back of the head at close range, so clearly also self defense. While attempting to run away one of the thieves were shot so badly that the troops could not move the body without it falling apart.
The only real overlap between this and the ww1 incident is that food was part. But in ww1 the food was offered, seemingly as a Christmas gesture, like "here's some food, here's some food, here's a grenade", not locked up like I Somalia.
Arone was found in a porta potty 12 days later on March 16th at an abandoned US army base. The wiki says nothing about Arone bring lured, he was just on the shitter outside the Canadian base.
Let that be a lesson to all: don't use abandoned toilets near Canadian army bases, because you might get water boarded, burned with a cigaret on your penis and sodomized with a broomstick, before being beaten to death.
Thanks for clearing that up, and reminding me that some of my country's volunteers are absolute shitbags.
Shitbags are all around, but in civilized countries, like your politely murderous country, they're exposed and not covered up. That's why we know about it.
