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 βwesternβ 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 doesnβt show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, donβt post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I wonder what the cost is per Whopper?
well including the humanitarian crisis discount and the urgency in need fee, about 20$
Thatβs cheap for the US military.
I was thinking $1000/ea would be a deal.
I kind of expect a version with McDonald's and Trump saluting while crying tears of joy.
We have sotilaskoti and for field stuff they sometimes brought out a sotku car. Women selling coffee, berliners, cigarettes, everything a growing young lad needs. It was bliss eating a berliner after a week in a damp and cold forest.
"Yeah I did two Tours to Afghanistan."
"No I'm not in the military, I work at Burger king"
"I still see the Friday Night as the fryer broke in my nightmares...."
Sometimes, it's preferable to shoot someone than be on the line.
I recall an anecdote about (I think) a Japanese admiral during WWII, who upon realising the US Navy had a ship dedicated to making ice cream, knew that they had lost the war.
I had to look this up. If numbers are down this would make great recruiting material.
The Americans truly fight like kings. Having an ice cream ship is definitely something yoh should all feel patriotic about!
3 flavors, all you can eat.

Hey, wake up and start the fryer, I think we landed.
Not just BK either. Taco Bell, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Wendy's all have contracts with the military, probably more.

It was burger king, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Starbucks that I remember. They even had some kick ass delicious food. Never thought pizza hut would be this good, I swear. Pizza was fresh and fucking thick crusted. Burger King was just out of this world. π
The power of not employing minimum-wage 16 year olds who donβt give a shit.
Spot on. Lol
And the tactical BK had the Royale, instead of the standard crispy chicken. At least the ones I visited did. It was a nice break from the US version with proper chicken breast.

It makes me laugh when a certain type of veteran likes to act like they're some self sacrificing hero.
Like bro, you signed up and are being paid to murder brown kids and eat Burger King.
...and we're all out of Whoppers.
Itβs a continuous test cycle of logistics. If you can get familiar fast food, XBoxes and other creature comforts to troops stationed half a world away from home, you can get much spicier fare over when circumstances demand.
I ordered stuff from Amazon on deployment lol
That makes sense, actually, yeah. Logistics is a difficult task, take it from an OpenTTD player.
Oddly thematic.
The prop for the W.O.P.R. sold a few years ago. IIRC, someone paid $25,000 for what my father said was a refrigerator box, with Christmas lights inside, painted black, and with plastic caps. He did all the computer graphics on Wargames. Apparently I threw up on Matthew Broderick the time my dad brought me to the set. I would have been 1 or 2 at the time.
People don't realize what constraints props departments are under, or for that matter, how little it takes to impress a camera.
IMO, everyone should binge-watch Adam Savage's YT channel before putting down serious money on a movie prop. A shocking amount of this stuff is basically made to survive the production time-frame, and little else.
Also: congrats with that brief brush with stardom. That's hilarious. Next time, you should seriously lead with "I threw up on Matthew Broderick once."
I'm here all day, go on

The camo on the cab is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting for the rest of the truck.
The cab portion is military owned. The trailer portion is corporate owned.

The Pacific theater in World War II had entire ships dedicated to distributing ice cream.
I am unaware of any historical evidence they blasted "Turkey In The Straw" when approaching another ship. But we can dream.
entire ships dedicated to distributing ice cream.
Even before biden?

You need a whole trailer for a microwave and fake ass "broiler"??
There are an abundance of sandwich shops with low overhead, simple ingredients, and decent quality. And America chose Burger King over all of them.
What a weird thing to bitch about in a thread celebrating the military's ability to literally setup fast food for troops while skull fucking the OPs.
