Black Powder Search

Ok kids, gather round and take a knee… This’ll be the furthest - and probably the only time - Black Powder Search ever wades into politics. On this day in military history - July 15, 1863 - President Davis ordered service duty for the Confederate Army. (Hard to verify the date, just go with it) What would you do if faced with the following choices? 1 - Obey a presidential directive to take up arms against friends and family in the North 2 - Take a supporting role instead of entering direct combat, and likely be branded a coward by those you know and love for the rest of your life Remember, the average American had an entirely different values set back then. And EITHER decision came with life-changing consequences. What’s that got to do with politics? Welp, in case you haven’t been watching the news… There’s no shortage of Americans on social media casually tossing around words like “insurrection” and “civil war”… Words that we here at Black Powder have used while serving in a handful of countries overseas during ACTUAL civil wars and insurrections. We don’t use those words lightly, they come with consequences. Consequences we’ve seen up close and personal, and always hoped we’d never see again… Especially not in our own country. People paid with their lives and that payment was final. A 20-year-old learned that final lesson over the weekend, and while we’re glad President Trump is ok, our heart still breaks for that kid. We’re big believers in Occam’s Razor: the most obvious cause for an event is the most likely. You can’t call someone Hitler reborn for a decade and not expect consequences. Get off social media and talk to that coworker who voted for the other guy. Buy a coffee for that cousin who thinks you’re crazy for voting like you do. You’d be shocked - shocked! - at how much you have in common… At how non-threatening to you and your way of life they really are. Social and mainstream media offer majorly skewed perspectives on the American experience. You can’t trust them. Only by interacting with your fellow Americans will you realize how much you have in common with people you’ve been conditioned to believe hate you and your way of life. It’s all smoke and mirrors from people who benefit from the hate. One thing we love about what we do is watching firsthand how business brings people together. Funny how having a common goal and reaping rewards together brings people closer. It’s as true in the office as it was on the battlefield. In fact, it’s the closest thing we’ve found to true camaraderie since we left the military. So take a knee, take a few deep breaths, and give each other some space and grace. We promise the tough-talkers don’t actually want what they say they want. They only think they do because they haven’t seen it for themselves and don’t know any better. There’s a reason combat veterans, some of the truest patriots you’ll meet, want peace. We appreciate and love you all. ALL 🇺🇸
