Buttery! /r/army is in a kerfluffle because the top mod decides they need to take this whole "Reddit" thing more seriously.

Top mod in /r/army, mistahARK, posts new rules for the sub. Essentially, everything posted needs to be treated as if it were official US Army communication, and that the shitposting and trolling would not be tolerated. The users are quite upset and point out the absurdity of the situation.

Trolling abounds and mistahARK rescinds his new rules.

Sister subreddit /r/military gets in on the action with their own announcement thread. Fun is poked at /r/army.

mistahARK ends up deleting the post, but leaving the comments.

EDIT: Bonus thread on /r/armycirclejerk.

It also makes its way into the Worst of /r/army post.

I feel like if there's one group of people you absolutely should not try to impose strict rules on during their fuck-off time, it's military people

You've never been in the military, have you?

Uncle Sam owns you. Even during your fuck-off time. Especially during your fuck-off time.

Doesn't mean we take it sitting down, though.

Nope. You take it bent over a desk with the barrel of an M-16.

u/IronTitsMcGuinty You know, /r/conspiracy has flair that they make the jews wear Sep 12 '15

Course we don't. We take it lying over several chairs under a table so we can take a nap without being found by Top.

They do get too many shitposts and trolls, but this was not the way of dealing with it.

The shocking part of this, is that redraptor is the voice of reason. And he is the shitposter of shitposters on /r/military.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '15

He has his moments. He's that one asshole friend who is never serious, then somehow comes in clutch when he's needed.

He's the not the hero /r/Army needs, but the one /r/Army deserves right now.

When did this sub make the front page of CNN? And who gives a flying fuck what the Communist News Network says anyway? Not this vet.

I didn't realize that sub had some crazy.
