This isn't a damn political thread.  Please don't take it there.  They killed more ISIS personnel than any unit in Combat. 🤘

The Army's killer drones: How a secretive special ops unit decimated ISIS

This unit Echo of Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.  Echo Company’s achievements are remarkable, in part, because unlike the Air Force, whose drones are operated from air-conditioned trailers in Nevada and flown by officers, the pilots in this Army aviation company are mainly enlisted soldiers who are deployed in combat theaters. SPECOPS Unit were shocked to find out these were Army Enlisted dudes on the ground in Theater.  Representatives from the special operations units the company supported were frequently surprised to find that the drone pilots they heard on the radio were not “senior Air Force officers” but “Army enlisted soldiers that were actually in theater — not in Vegas,” the document states.

Especially proud these are fellow enlisted warriors who have wrecked havoc on ISIS Candy Asses.

Gunny these kids are basically gamers. Crazy now how these gamers are recruited by schools and the military.

Great thread gunny

Remember as a SDI criticizing these XBox Generation as a bunch of lazy ass kids who had never broke a finger more less a leg.  And dammit now they are some lethal ass video Warriors.  You are correct these gamers are changing the game (pun intended) and they are young Enlisted Military types.  No doubt the E-4 Mafia

This is on helluva Statement:  “Echo Company [is] the most lethal company in the Army, and it may very well be the most lethal company-size element in all of [the Defense Department],” Brig. Gen. John Evans, at the time the head of U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command, told attendees at the aviation association’s conference in April 2017 🤘
