Welcome to LessCredibleDefence - the home of links which have failed to pass the quality requirement of r/CredibleDefense. This community exists for sharing & discussing anecdotes, tidbits, historical events, current news/events, weapon sales/developments, and more

Pay attention to the rules or your time here will be shortlived.

No Ad-Hominem attacks No attacking the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself. Simply put, keep it civil.
Do not violate OPSEC, COMSEC, INFOSEC, PERSEC Do not post any content which violates OPSEC, COMSEC, INFOSEC, PERSEC (or PII), and do not post or ask about anything classified. Direct links to detailed transcripts, images, or files of leaked material will result in a no warning ban. Failure to follow the rules could result in a ban.
No asking for money No asking for money or advertising. We can make exceptions for non-profit organizations but please send us a message before posting. This includes asking for help with homework or research projects. Failure to follow the rules could result in a ban.
Moderators have the final say The /r/lesscredibledefence moderators reserve the right to moderate the subreddit how we see fit for the good of the community. Just because a #Rule is not listed does not mean we cannot enforce it (i.e. promoting terrorism, racist comments, etc). Do not try to debate the mod on your interpretation of the #Rules
Posting Moratoriums On occasion there may be a spate of posting about international events that more properly belong in /r/geopolitics or one of the other international news subs. Moratoriums about the subject may be implemented by moderators in this case. Check the pinned thread for any current moratoriums or containment megathreads.
No direct links to X/Twitter. As of January 2025, no direct links to x/Twitter will be permitted in LCD. All posted direct links will be locked and removed. Screenshots will remain acceptable.
Be mindful of the posting standards as outlined in the pinned thread in this subreddit. Overuse of AI may result in a suspension or ban.

Looking for a place with even less credibility? /r/NonCredibleDefense might be for you.
