What stood out for me most in this pic isn’t the plane full of men with guns but that single guy sitting all the way in the back with the mask on staring right at you.
I’m thinking he’s secretly some sort of Department of Defense (DOD) specialist that gets sent in with the Rangers/Airborne/Paratrooper type forces.
No one knows who he is when going on these missions just that he’s to be left alone while given anything he asks for.
He doesn’t talk much, mostly with hand gestures, and he doesn’t stay long with the men he’s sent in with.
He’s highly trained and well-versed in all kinds of skills. Guys have reported seen him use a sniper rifle better than their squad’s sniper, use a computer to hack into stuff onsite, knows his explosives, and is deadly in hand to hand combat. And in every instance, he looked like a natural in it, like whatever he’s doing at the time is his specialty.
As of now his whereabouts are unknown and he is considered missing. The last mission he went on was with a dozen US Army Rangers when they parachuted into Syria. 11 of those Rangers were found KIA, with the DOD guy and 1 other Ranger still missing.
Rumors talk of him turning rogue while others say he was hunting The Scorn and that those weren’t active duty Rangers on the plane with him but rather DOD mercenaries posing as Rangers.
For now, the truth remains a mystery.
