When is the term Kill Chain handy ? When some random person watching your feed from half way around the world decides they know better than you what the situation is and sends you a PM while your setting up to take a shot. Clearly something that is not a problem when you're sat above the battlefield in a manned asset.
The reply to such an inject ? A simple PM back saying "Killchain". In that they are not part of it, so the conversation is over
I notice that the one's arguing over whether they are pilots are not seem to be those that have no "dog in the fight". Don't see any Reaper pilots on here justifying their existence (or flying pay!) to the PPRuNe community. Maybe they are too busy fighting a war / saving lives / to concern themselves with such things.........
Were the first pilots in the RAF accepted by their Army counterparts as "real" military officers if they weren't charging across a muddy field towards a machine gun ? What if you were a UAV operator and then returned to flying real aircraft ? Would you be allowed back into the fold or does such an assignment taint your social standing in the pilot world forever
