This community is dedicated to everything related to military. News, questions, and discussion.

RULES

1. Keep it civil. Self explanatory.

2. Refrain from inflammatory behavior. Criticism of the military is allowed here, but critique comments should be tied to the topic at hand. Vague low effort comments are not productive.

3. Memes on Mondays only. Everyone loves memes, but to keep them from overrunning other content, they are limited to Meme Mondays.

4. Posts must be coherent, and on topic to actual military discussion.

5. Posted articles should be titled in a way that does not materially alter the original title. Fixing a grammar or spelling mistake is acceptable, but omitting part of an article's title or naming the post differently in a way that diverges from the title is not allowed.

**6. Both self-posts and news articles are allowed. Posts that are Wikipedia links are not allowed. Image posts are generally not allowed unless they are original content. For military images, !militaryporn@lemmy.world is a more suitable community.

I love reading and talking about military hardware, but we must remember not to be blinded by them or to "idolize" them, we must remember that they have been used for atrocities that should be talked about, but are not.

i find the 1991 Gulf War so facinating as it was so one sided, the americans took out targets at such an efficiency that i admire as only true tacticians could have pulled that of as smoothly as it did. however as with all wars, we must remember the terrible, terrible things done by them like bombing an iraqi emergency air raid shelter and its relentless targeting of civilian infastructure.
