Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Poor kid. He's fighting a war that no one wants for a country that doesn't care in a place that hates him. Regardless of how you feel about the situation, it still evokes a strong emotional response and is a wonderful picture.

Your ignorance astounds and saddens me. We get so little oil from Iraq and Afghanistan, this war is for other reasons, stupid as THEY may be.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

So why are you there?

[–]Riggzz 1 point2 points ago

Wonderful question. I think that's been the center of debate for the past decade. If you don't believe me it's really quite easy to look up oil import statistics. Of the imports (this excludes the fact that the US produces more then 50% of its oil) more then 60% come from canada, 30% from South America, <10% from middle east, and most of that coming from Saudi Arabia. Iraq and Afghanistan, are negligible when it comes to oil for the US. People just don't like that magic stuff that makes your car go vroom, so they blame literally everything on it.

[–]Geotic 2 points3 points ago

Converge lyrics. Powerful song and even more so in this context

[–]xkristoferx -2 points-1 points ago

wrong. the lyrics are originally sung by Most Precious Blood, "The lantern" off of "Nothing in Vain". amazing song.

[–]Geotic 1 point2 points ago

haha damn, i guess I should have googled my source. I shall check out that band, what album should I start with?

[–]xkristoferx -1 points0 points ago

nothing in vain. pretty amazing album but they went down hill after that.

[–]Lots42 6 points7 points ago

Everytime this is posted, people complain about the repost, the lyrics and insult the soldier.

Pathetic Reddit is pathetic.

[–]aleos 2 points3 points ago

Fuck War.

[–]medecau 6 points7 points ago

This guys gets shot EVERY FUCKING DAY!

[–]Gigagunn 5 points6 points ago

True courage. I am thankful for his service

[–]Tachyx 0 points1 point ago

So is this the new guy that the sociopaths let take point?

[–]losangeles11 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone know who this soldier is and if he made it? I Sure hope so

[–]Drunken_Economist 0 points1 point ago

This is probably a bad time to point out how awful that font is

[–]ragnaROCKER -1 points0 points ago

Please stop posting this picture. normally i don't care too much about reposts but it is like i see this one everyday. Please.

[–]aleigh80 4 points5 points ago

Agreed. It comes to a point to just give this kid some privacy and stop splashing this all over the internet. Btw, for those who don't know: he is 19 years old, from Ohio, and he lost both his legs and his left arm fighting for us. God Bless Him.
