Well, Mystic's wit and IB's keen analysis of military history are two of my favorite things about this forum, so I'm not wading into this one.
However, the photo is interesting. It came from this video and story:

I didn't watch the video, but New York Magazine had this description,
Vice released a half-hour documentary last week about young black American conservatives. It charts the awakening of a growing cohort of millennials and Generation Z–ers to a notion articulated in the film by Candace Owens, a 29-year-old activist: that “black lives have never, ever, ever mattered to the Democrat party,” but “black votes always have.”
Vice has some good shit btw. This is my favorite:
