Although I don't know what his MOS was (his 'job') it's likely he was a drone 'pilot'. They are trained to kill from a safe distance, locating and tracking their targets. If anyone knows, I would be interested in exactly what Aaron's job was. Many of these kids never go anywhere near an actual aircraft per se. They work out of tricked out rooms not unlike game rooms. Many of the video (xbox, play station etc.) games our kids 'play' today simulate war scenes and battles. There was a time that such games were placed just outside of military recruiters in malls during the days that teens hung out in shopping malls.

Operative words "these kids". They never actually grow up

Yes! And these kids were safely ensconced in 'cockpits' in Colorado. That is how despicable the US drone strategy is.

Military recruiters know all about kids wanting to be middle class. But now, that's no longer an aspiration- they go in because there are no other options.
