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.
