Fayetteville, NC — home of FT. Bragg and the 82nd Airborne

Some call it Fayette-Nam, because here you are either going to war or coming back.

In high school, Javorn Drummond was good at football — good enough to be a state champion — but his GPA was somewhere south of 2.0.

When he was 17, he joined the army. By the time he was 19, he was kicking-in doors in Baghdad.

You come back to what you left.

This is how I live — how we always lived. My great grandmother picked cotton here 80 years ago.

Revolution is at hand. I’m a John Brown Protege. Show you to a space in Fayette-Nam where slaves were sold out the market place. Uncle Sam sent me off to fight. Now he ain’t claiming us. Jail bars and 6×9 cells are used for taming us.
