Inside The Secret Air Force Unit That Pulverizes America's Enemies: VIDEO

The deadliest men on a battlefield belong to a group you've likely never heard of before.

Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Army Rangers and Delta Force get a lot of the attention when it comes to taking out bad guys, but there's another group that helps rain hell down on America's enemies:

The 24th STS.

The 24th STS is made up of some of the best men in the Air Force, and one of the most important jobs is that of a combat controller. A CCT is responsible for fusing air power with the guys on the ground in order to decimate the enemy. 

Former CCT and 24th STS member Mike Lamonica joined me on American Joyride to talk about his time at war, being a board member of the Combat Control Foundation and much more.

As always, grab your favorite snack and drink, smash the play button and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

I hope you enjoyed listening to Mike's stories as much as I enjoyed sharing them. We'll have many more clips coming, and I can't wait for everyone to check them out. Make sure to follow at the socials below.
