@elonmusk When the social contract with civilization has been voided by the justice system itself ... then,
Guys will see this and just think "whelp" 🤷
This is Lance Corporal Garland Ray ‘Buddy’ Mann.
20 years old.
Watch this video for a minute and you’ll notice something.
He doesn’t look like a history book.
He looks like a kid.
A kid who should’ve had another 50 years ahead of him.
Buddy was killed in action shortly after this interview.
Every now and then it’s worth remembering that the freedoms we argue about online were often paid for by young men who never got the chance to come home and argue with us.
Semper Fi, Buddy.
On this day 13 years ago, my only son was sworn in to the US Army. In ten days, it will be 12 years since he was killed in Afghanistan 2 weeks before he was due to come home. He was just 21. This week is also Memorial Day. My greatest fear now is that he will be forgotten. Please help me remember my boy during this tough week of special dates (share if you feel inspired. It never gets easier but the love and support always helps. ♥️🇺🇸

Jake was a Christian, an athlete, a patriot, an artist, dog lover, a friend to all and the funniest, happiest guy in the platoon. Jake, you’ve left a huge void in our lives, but we will see you one day and there will no more heartache and no more goodbyes ♥️🇺🇸
