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.

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.
I'm gonna hazard a guess that, while local sandwich shops have quality, speed, and razor-thin margins down to an artform, a major fast food franchise is better suited to the task. The major reason being: logistics. A country-wide chain is probably at or close to the scale needed to qualify as a military contractor in this capacity. Nevermind the quality of the food, we're talking about the ability to move a stupendous amount of calories around. Assuming the photo is of a mobile kitchen, well, that would be the easiest part of all this.
Meanwhile, something familiar from home is bound to be a boost to morale.
I understand, but pitching Burger King as a positive to me is like offering coppa to a vegan. I understand the qualities that make it popular but that hardly changes my revulsion.
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.
Which burger of theirs do you like most?
The one I had while waiting for the rotator flight to get me the fuck out of Afghanistan after a year of rations and dining facility fare. It may have been marginally better than BK at your local franchise, but, as the other poster is saying, the overall quality of the meal is not important in this particular context. It being a shitty fast food hamburger is its appeal.
I fully understand, but Iβve never been able to stomach fast food burgers. They taste like candied beef. The demographics of the army are such that most were likely raised on low-cost fast food, (which is funny considering how expensive fast food is nowadays) so they developed a taste for sugar sauce where I could not.
Itβs my own personal complaint about style over substance and general tastes in the US. No one is wrong for their palate, but I am relentlessly judgmental about the pre-diabetic catastrophe of american food preferences.
Eh, Burger King is one of the less bad fast food burgers out there IMO. The Whopper and double cheeseburger are usually what I go for, and they don't have the same fake taste as McDonald's.
They're definitely okay. I'd much rather go to a local burger shop or Five Guys, but Burger King is acceptable in a pinch. Carl's Junior is better though.
Gotta export those deer ankles they use for nuggets somewhere.
