Sure, they kill enemy, but they're basically playing a video game.

I believe all drone pilots are actual pilots first. I know my BIL who was deployed to the stan twice, bombing the hajis in his F-16, did a deployment to Creech.
He's worthy. |

For every BattleAxe swinging berserker, there were 20 Remfs providing logistics to make the Warrior life possible. Did They get to go to Valhalla?
Did the wenches and thanes get to go? I don’t know the mythology. |

They can get in, but they probably won't be able to get on the golf course. Would need a member.
|
|
|
Why not? those tables in the great hall aren't gonna wait on themselves...
|
|
So Field Artillery need not apply?
That's ok. I intend to get into the Green Lands if at possible. |
|
An interesting side note: The response to an IFE, physiologically, is exactly the same whether flying an unmanned or manned aircraft.
|

|
Just a haphazard guess, but it wouldn't suprise me if UAVs took out more enemy fighters in oef/oif than all small arms combined.
|
|
What about BB stackers ?
Nobody's getting killed without ordnance |

Did they die with their weapon in their hand? View Quote Having a heart attack from too much KFC in a container at an Air Force base, nope, doesn't qualify. |

Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead warriors join the masses of those who have died in combat (known as the Einherjar) and various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök.
So short answer... No |

Valhalla doesn’t exist.
And making the video game parallel is dumb. Their actions still end human life. If anything, if ANYTHING I dare say it takes more nerve to be a drone pilot because of how detached it is. Like.....two groups of humans in the same weather, on the same land, with similar risks at least have some form of kinship even if they are killing each other. But slurping a coffee while shooting a Hellfire up someone’s ass is hardcore, cold blooded. Like no disrespect but I could not do that. Like emotionally it seems too much like playing God. So they are better people than me Jeffrey Epstein didn’t commit suicide |

MORSE MYTHOLOGY IS STUPID SPATAN MARKED BURIAL IS MORE PRACTICAL
you only get your name on the tombstone if 1. a woman who died in childbith 2. A man who died in combat very simple - so , a female drone pilot could get a marked tombstone but not for flying a drone |

Not just die in battle but you must be killed in/during an actual battle.

What valor in pushing a button hundreds or thousands of miles away?

Quoted: that is why only combat veterans with injuries or purple hearts should be allowed to fire the hellfiresoff the drones WE have the busted up bodies & hard brains to kill the enemy & enjoy it. just let me sit outside snd smoke camels call me in I come in push the button watch the boom , go back outside pick up still lit cig View Quote |

Just happen to have an overwatch drone pilot and a 3rd group soldier here reading this with me and you would not believe their reaction. Need not say anything else. I do not believe a reply from either would answer that question. MAGA

Of those who die in actual battle, Only the chosen slain go to valhalla.
|

Absolutely!
There is, however, a tiny catch. To enter Valhalla a drone pilot and the sensor systems operator have to: Ride on the drone into battle, just like the men of Germany's Sonderkommando "Elbe" and the Imperial Japanese Special Attack Units during WWII; and Either do a controlled dive into the target; or If there is sufficient explosives onboard, emulate this warrior: [youtube]3edi2Wkr5YI?t=26[/youtube] |
