Daily mail soldier

You're referring to the infamous "Daily Mail Soldier" meme!

The "Daily Mail Soldier" is a humorous internet meme that originated from a 2014 article in the Daily Mail, a British tabloid newspaper. The article was about a British soldier who had been killed in Afghanistan, and it included a photo of the soldier in his uniform.

However, the article's caption described the soldier as a "hero" and included a number of sensationalized and inaccurate claims about his bravery and exploits. The article was widely criticized for its sensationalism and inaccuracies.

The meme was born when internet users began to mock the article's sensationalism and the Daily Mail's perceived bias towards promoting a particular narrative. The meme typically features a photo of the soldier, often with a caption that pokes fun at the Daily Mail's sensationalism and the soldier's supposed "heroism."

The meme has since become a popular way for people to poke fun at the Daily Mail's reporting style and to criticize the newspaper's perceived bias towards promoting a particular narrative. It's often used to lampoon the newspaper's sensationalism and to highlight the importance of accurate and responsible journalism.
