He is asking us not to scroll past our soldiers because it matters to them.
This American soldier is deployed right now. He probably spent hours thinking about making this video before he finally hit record. It takes a lot to look directly into a lens and ask people to stay. He did it because connection is hard to find when you are far away.
Picture a single phone being passed around a dark tent. Six people sitting on cots, leaning in close under a small light to read one sentence on a screen. Just one comment from someone back home.
Play the video again. Look at his face just before he asks for the follow. He stumbles over his words for a split second. That tiny moment of hesitation is very real.
Our troops are living in boots and green gear for months on end. Sometimes a notification on a screen is the only bridge to the lives they left behind. They just want to know that someone on the other side of the world is actually listening.
These guys check their signals in remote places late at night. A simple follow is a quiet nod across the ocean. It tells them they are not forgotten during the long hours. 🫡
