John Mayer checked in with his Twitter followers (@johncmayer) on Tuesday (September 8), talking about a communication he had with a friend in the military, presumably in Afghanistan, and how the media hasn’t devoted much attention to the war. The singer songwriter tells readers:
A friend of mine who is a Marine captain texted me last night after an IED went off at his base. Marines were killed…
Just want to remind you the war is still happening. That is all.
He wrote “Nobody cares, I took down a heroin processing plant 2 days ago, nothing! I hear more about you on the news” – now you know.
Yes, sir, we know you’re out there! God bless you and thank you and yours for the sacrifices.
