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.

Ryan Fortnine made this point by climbing inside the engine compartment of a Dodge Ram.
They didn't modify the truck and dude is over 6' tall.
If they don't care about school shootings, they are not going to care about this.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I've never heard about lifted trucks being banned in school zones.
My homie said he peeled a bloody backpack of some kid out of treads of one of those tanks. Driver started crying and throwing up. Fuckin brutal.
Just make the children taller
You maybe could if you increased welfare, but US is doing excellent job driving it to the ground
Another thing Europe does better.
Meanwhile in Europe, trucks have a flat front so drivers have great visibility.
It's definitely starting here too. Of course it's not as bad as the US but seeing those huge Dodg Rams or whatever is becoming more common. I guess I have to get used to it because I get annoyed every time I see such a car
And we don't really drive "trucks" anyway, not as they know them in the US.
SUVs are getting annoyingly common though.
I think OP was referring to HGVs and not pickups.
Good point, I thought of truck as pickup.
The comment you are replying to does too. Check out this video comparing the 2.
No, I did really think that the OP meant "truck" as in "pickup" as most Americans refer to them. Now the original comment makes much more sense too!
Easy fix- short drivers and lift kits should be factored in with a ban. If it saves even one Power Wagon from a dent, isn't that worth a ban?
No
Man imagine if that was an enforced rule
Like, Trucknuts McGee isn't even allowed to move into a house that's too close to the school because he's driving something that's better rated as an Armored Personnel Transport than as a passenger car.
If they are to drive an armored vehicle on public roads during peace time, even the military necessitates a vehicle commander standing out of his hatch with direct communications with the driver so he can have an overview of what's around the vehicle and compensate for the driver's blind spots. It is a basic safety rule.
Also he needs to be up there to hit them with his sword.
What, no driving an MBT into a school zone with all hatches closed? I'm sure we're all very shocked at this revelation.
A BMW M1 sports car, produced 1978-81, only sits 1.14m tall, it’s probably got even better sight lines.
Unless you need to look up to see the stoplight.
I had to verify. My Ram Power Wagon is 1.45 meters (57”) at the hood height. I’d consider it closer to 60” at full top since it’s so squared off, but who’s counting….
