Ground Force: Shoot First, Aim Later

By: Hayden Van Wormer

 

Note from the Commander:

Elite. Precise. Lethal. Tier Zero. Operating under the cover of broad daylight to protect the freedoms of other people, who also move about in broad daylight. Diving in face first and eyes closed. Truly embracing the unit motto, “Shoot First - Aim Later,” every Ground Force soldier puts mission first, and results second, and it shows! This recently (mostly) unclassified snippet into the hallowed history of Ground Force highlights the trials and tribulations of the world’s best soldiers as they ruin everything they touch.
