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.

for those who dont know, thats PFC Kyle Hockenberry who lost both legs and his left arm in an IED explosion.

[–]therandymarsh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for this. Just saw an interview they had with him on Fox News. Very sad story, yet such a strong man.

Fighting an unnecessary war

[–]cplgoogle 3 points4 points ago

I love this picture but sadly I do not think everyone understands the full meaning of it

[–]mingling4502 1 point2 points ago

still a powerful picture...even if it's a repost. I think it's appropriate for the 4th.

[–]Unlogicalme -1 points0 points ago

Stuff like this makes me miss being U.S. Army Paratrooper even more. God Bless our Soldiers; Past, Present, and Future!

[–]therandymarsh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Can't thank you enough for your service brother

[–]Unlogicalme 0 points1 point ago

I never know what to say when people thank me for what I did. Do you say "Your Welcome"?

For some reason it just doesn't feel right saying that. It's something I felt I had to do.

If I could, I would be right back in.

But your welcome

[–]therandymarsh[S] 0 points1 point ago

I plan on going for OCS once I finish college, which will be in 4 years. I'll never however experience what you experienced in your deployment during these times. God bless you.

[–]Unlogicalme 0 points1 point ago

Congrats, and good luck man!! If I stayed in, that was the path I was going to take.

I was deployed back in 2004-2005, things were a little different back then.

For some reason, I've been thinking about going back in; miss all my fellow Paratroopers. But I'm just not wanting to go through basic and all that again lol

It's the 4th, and an amazingly powerful photograph - I was happy to see it again, even if it is a repost.

[–]therandymarsh[S] 2 points3 points ago

Sorry, I didn't know this has been posted before.

[–]Shit-Bow -2 points-1 points ago

This gets posted every veterans and memorial day. Great pic, super sad story.
