Their wings aren’t the same as yours-so who seriously gives a flying fuck!
It doesn’t make you less of an aviator or “warfighter”
Somebody’s triggered...
Triggered… No. Libertarian...as in I don’t give a fuck what someone else does...especially when it has zero impact on me.
Or maybe I just dont like people like shitting on fellow servicemembers who are fighting the good fight-albeit in a different way.That’s cool. I’m sure everyone’s glad you decided to share your feelings on the topic.

The going home thing. Maybe the mental transition IS difficult for the remote pilot. Is it more difficult than going back to a CHU and getting rocketed or mortared? Ehhh. Probably not. Probably only someone who has experienced this both in person and remotely could say for sure which is worse. I've got to put my money that doing it up close and personal is going to be worse. But again, PTSD award or put-yourself-in-danger award?
Actually saw a real Marine (Major) wearing a real pair of UAS pilot wings at AUSA yesterday. At first glance I thought he was an NFO but quickly realized the shield was different. They look good. Also looked at a number of remarkable unmanned aerial systems.
