The most patriotic people in the country. We defend a country that don’t give a shyt about us.

And can't speak up about that fact peacefully or otherwise. Its all the same to some people.

More details leaked about the ambush that took his life. Breh had made it through the gunfire and was in the clear, but went back to help his comrades

• Sgt. Johnson was in an armed pick-up truck that was in front of the vehicle carrying the other three men when the attack began

• He and others in the truck initially got out to return fire but got back into the vehicles when they realised they were dangerously outnumbered

• They sped ahead 200 yards then realized the other men, who were in an unarmed Land Cruiser, were behind and in the kill zone

• Two other US soldiers got out of the truck on foot and marched back towards the Cruiser while Johnson covered them from a mounted machine gun on the pick-up truck

• The cruiser was hit by a mortar and all three inside the vehicle were killed

• Johnson's pick-up truck was also hit and it's likely his body was thrown from it as it bounded along the ground

• For two hours after the first call for back-up was made, surviving soldiers were under fire from the militants

• When French fighter jets arrived and scared them off, the surviving US and Nigerien soldiers were back-to-back, still firing shots

• Sgt. Johnson's body was only discovered on October 6 when a village elder, who previously stalled them from leaving Tongo Tongo, revealed where it was to Nigerien forces

• The men were due to have back-up for the doomed mission but the unit which was supposed to accompany them was unable to at the last minute

• Instead of being called back to base, they were told to proceed

Damn...

 

[Camammal]

shyt is pointless, died for absolutely nothing.

 

[Anti-Anime]

Rip. Nothing upsets me more than black men killing each other for the goals of other races

 

[The M.I.C.]

Crushing to see..especially the flag being given to the daughter.

Salute to the brothers in S.F. Airborne, met quite a few in Bragg when I was moving around. Not too many know what the fukk they deal with out in the field.

 

[GodsPerspective]

This may be extremely ignorant.. just a heads up.

I believe the media pushes bravery and valor from people of color to give us a false sense of pride. Emotional folks will look at this picture and something within them might trigger and all of a sudden they want to protect their country.

This is why images and stories like this don't resonate with me. You have to remember that the folks at the top know how to manipulate your emotions. I'm sure they have collected countless studies on human behavior and know exactly what info to give out so that the masses act a certain way.

It might not be the case for this but just remember to take everything with a grain of salt brehs and brehsttes.
