A senior enlisted leader within the U.S. Special Operations Command secretly ran a massively popular meme page for years. How he says it made him better at his job:
The military has a unique brand of humor that’s often dark and crass. Because service members often use comedy to process challenging and traumatic experiences, it’s said that"nothing is sacred."— better known as"Veteran With a Sign" online — said of Another SF Meme Page."That’s how you know he’s legit."
When he learned members of a SOF unit were quarantined without adequate food, he and other meme pages rallied to get pizzas and other meals passed over the fence. People also felt comfortable opening up to the anonymous meme maker about mental health or struggles with religion. "All of a sudden it just exploded," he said."We were getting millions of impressions on this little page."
For the last three years, the only person who knew Sgt. Major Matt Parrish was running the massively popular meme page was his wife. And while Parrish was able to share one side of the military’s story on SOFcast, interviewing legendary special operators, generals and Medal of Honor recipients, the meme page shared the stories of the boots on the ground.
