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

Do you believe that the military is telepathically controlled by the head of the DOD and Hegseth, new to the position, was unable to manage his new psychic powers effectively enough to avoid the collision?
If you knew anything about the military, you would know how it is a constant shit show of chaos that has a thin veneer of order.
The military has dropped nukes on US soil by accident and just straight up lost them. One of them fell on a New Jersey farmer's field and it buried itself into the ground so deep that they gave up looking for it. The government ended up buying the land and fencing it off. That wasn't the only nuclear oopsie we had had.
A few years ago the Navy lost a jet because a storm blew it off the deck because it was tied down with the wrong anchors.
Friendly fire incidents, look at the War in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you Google non-combat military accidents, you will find pages of incidents.
If you think the military is an efficient and well oiled machine, you need to stop watching the recruitment commercials or stop believing the lies the recruiter will tell you.
Too credible, reported
Now tell us about all the shitty things the UK did.
What are you insinuating? It was perfectly justifiable to put our own soldiers right next to every single nuclear test we did, including flying aircraft and sailing ships through mushroom clouds, then withholding the soldiers' medical records so they couldn't prove radiation exposure and still to this day aren't eligible for compensation.
See most of UK history.
I didn't know anything about Hegseth, so I looked up his Wikipedia page to get an idea. While I did find extremely troubling concerns regarding his beliefs for a person in his position, I didn't find anything that had to do with incompetence. He seems to be effective at whatever he does. He made Major, was awarded a Bronze Star, volunteered for deployment...all admirable achievements if they are valid (could have been invalidly attained). He might have a drinking problem, but I didn't see any claims where he has jacked something up because of it. It said that he' been drunk or hung over at Fox News, which is not strange for the military population since many like their drink. I've known heavy drinkers that get things done better than sober people, though their personal lives are a disaster. All that is to ask the honest question, why would Hegseth's reputation, especially in the first month of a transition, imply some sort of mismanagement oh his part that lead to a terrible, highly unusual, and avoidable operational mishap?
Please mind rules 5 & 6
