“The Xbox is free because so is the USA” — case closed.

A man named Jeff sold an Xbox One to Alan through eBay and when he realized that Alan was actually a Navy pilot-in-training, Jeff decided to refund the purchase in full and ship the Xbox for free.
A reader of BroBible was the first to bring this story to light through an email and what a story it is.
Here is the full transcription of the email that Jeff sent to Alan:
Hey Alan,
Thanks for recently purchasing the XBOX one from me on Ebay. I just shipped it today. I guess UPS doesn’t ship to PO Boxes though, so I sent it via USPS. It’s packed really well thought, although probably not well enough for the US postal service. The ship via Abrams tank wasn’t an option. Regardless, I noticed you were in Annapolis and likely a midshipmen at the Naval Academy. So cool! I always wanted to be a pilot but couldn’t because of a heart condition. I wound up putting everything I have into being an entrepreneur instead. Enough rambling — I’m giving you your money back. Keep the Xbox and go destroy some ISIS bad guys in between COD (Call of Duty) map changes. Thank you for your service!”
Tldr. The Xbox is free because so is the USA.
