Deadliest Men In War Is An Air Force Job You've Never Heard Of: VIDEO

Air Force Combat Controllers have the ability to kill a lot of people on the battlefield.

I have an upcoming American Joyride interview coming out with former Air Force CCT Mike Lamonica, and it seemed like a great opportunity to throw it back to my 2023 interview with former 24th STS CCT Dan Schilling.

Schilling fought in the Battle of Mogadishu as a CCT, and he's lived an absolutely fascinating life. During our interview, he explained why CCTs are the deadliest men to exist in the history of human conflict because of their ability to fuse air power with guys on the ground. The clip is by far one of my favorites. It's a great explainer of why Combat Controllers are dudes you don't want targeting you if you're a bad guy.

I hope you all enjoyed listening to Dan break it down, and I can't wait for everyone to see my upcoming interview with Mike Lamonica. You're going to love it. Make sure to also follow at all the social channels below:
