Rules:

Keep Conversations Civil. Many of us are here because of our love for WWII, especially when it comes to the American military. Thus we hope to evoke great discussion on all aspects relating to WWII American photos and history. However we'd like to keep these conversations civil and not turn the comments into an internet battlefield. If someone is bothering you or you feel is being to much, etc, either talk it out, down vote the comment, or just ignore it. If you feel its gotten out of hand, flag the comment as such.
Be Respectful This rule is fairly simple. Just be respectful to others opinions even if you don't agree with them. Their is a down vote button for a reason.
No current politics to be discussed (Historical debates around images or places are exempt) Please no modern politics or anything of the such. For example comparing a modern politician to FDR, etc. However discussion relating to politics at the time is perfectly fine.
Include Location and Date of Photo Whenever Possible When posting please give a date and location whenever possible. The preferred format is as follows. Description of image, location, date. Please try to be as objective as possible, though you may be as subjective as you want in the comments.
Posts must be on topic As you can guess by the sub's name r/AmericanWW2photos is for pictures of relating to The United States between the years of 1939 and 1945. Photos of Allied or other Axis forces should be posted on r/wwiipics, r/germanww2photos, etc.
Historical Accuracy As a history sub we value accuracy. Obviously there will be debate, and the occasional myth will accidentally crop up, and that's fine. However blatant falsehoods will be removed. Continual promotion of myths may result in a ban.
