A Ghanaian man, Obeng has shared how he joined United States Army after being rejected joining the army in Ghana.
In a TikTok video posted by @freedomtoshootvid, Obeng, dressed in his US military uniform, spoke during an interview about his earlier attempt to join the Ghana Army.
He revealed that he was turned away because of a scar on his arm.
Looking back, he contrasted that experience with what he found in the US. “Here in the US Army, they do not care if you have tattoos or scars. They need people because they know everyone is important,” he said.
He explained that the system values more than just physical strength.
“You might not have the physical strength but could be very intelligent, and they would need you,” he added, noting that military roles go beyond combat.
“The US military is not only about the front lines. There are many jobs in the military.”
