members of the US Military/Contractors of the DoD were killed by IED attack downtown in a Syrian city. One of the members killed was a Cryptologic Technician and another member was a DoD civilian of the DIA. All of them were apparently members of Cryptological Warfare Group 6, a unit with the mission to support Signals Intelligence and Cyberspace Warfare. What would those assets do boots on the ground along SF in downtown Syria? I can't really think of a reason those units need to be on the frontline? HUMINT would make sense but SIGINT and especially cyberwarfare? Why can't they stay in safer places and let the SF guys bring them the captured assets (harddrives, computers, cellphones...) and let them do their job from base?
I'd like to add that in no way shape or form do I mean disrespect to those men and women who died serving their country, I'm simply curious for what mission they bravely risked their lives and of course may they Rest in Peace 'till they're needed in Valhall.https://downloader.vip/rufus/ appsync.biz/123movies/ https://ovo.fyi/gomovies/

That’s a good question. I’m sure there’s a lot more happening then we know about. You got interests from all over the place jammed into that little area. There are threads here somewhere that we talk (theorize) about the big picture or what’s going on over there.
