    Reaper, a USAF drone pilot, provides air support from a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper to a US Army Delta Force team on the ground in the Philippines. After a mishap, Kinney, a young JTAC officer attached to the Delta Force team finds himself part of an extraction team relying only on Reaper's remote air support.

    JFC it's a movie lionizing fucking drone pilots and operators. Also they named him after the fucking drone, they couldn't be even a little more creative?

        per the wikipedia, looks like Abu Sayyaf. Isis in the Philippines

        but they're so fucking stupid they cast an Arab-Australian (I think?) as the villain. Abu Sayyaf's leadership are all Filipino Muslims.

          Burgers cannot comprehend non-arab muslims. Maybe the smarter ones can understand that Afghans aren't arab, but thats about the end of it.

        Obviously it'll be the most terrifying force imaginable: Muslamic-style Communists from North Korea
