A veteran badly burned in an Afghanistan IED blast has slammed Twitter for flagging his July 4 post of him saluting in uniform as 'potentially sensitive content'.

Retired US Army Captain Sam Brown posted a photo on Independence Day of himself saluting and the phrase 'Freedom isn't free' - with his facial injuries from the blast visible in the image.

'On July 4, 1776, America was born,' he wrote. 'On July 4, 2021, we're still the best country on this planet.'

America’s financial and tech oligarchs are mercenaries in business for themselves. America means nothing to them.

They are happy to have guys like this pay a huge sacrifice so they can hold their power, collect their $billions, and hate on common people.

God bless Captain Brown and his family! We Freepers thank you for your sacrifice and your service to a very unappreciative nation.

If this kind of crap continues, there will be no volunteers left who would even consider sacrificing their own interests for that of their country. Twitter must be thinking of the “courageous restraint” types as the heroes.

I hope Trump sues them out of existence. We don’t need them in this country.

“These kinda guys aren’t being recruited or joining the new and “socially improved” Army, Navy etc.”

What we see today is well long planned and calculated.

What we are seeing today is the ultimate, and likely final humanist pink swastika derived global takeover.

If this crap keeps up,, The only ones left who will be signing up In The future are the poofters with mental problems looking for sex changes, and ‘men’ with ‘hormonal imbalances’ who need to be coddled by male commanders with similar ‘hormonal imbalances’

Apparently our basic training is turning into a voluntary assignment too.

The world is laughing at us right now and mocking us relentlessly. We need Trump to save our military from dissolving into a poof brigade due to the woke crap sat the ,eft are forcing our military to endure right now
