So, we are attacking ISIS elements? Inert, or chemically reactive?

Element?

So Isis has their own Periodic table? Jihadium? Mohamedenium? Talabanium? Alquedium? Good night...

All this thing does is kick ass and take names and the Air Force still hates it. Let the Marines and Army take them.

Badass bird.

Not sure how to improve it, but now that it's been in the field for a while and battle tested, I would love to see someone (on our side) try to make it even better.

If it can't be improved with a new version, then build some more.

The Marines want no part of the A-10.

>> “The raids resulted in the death and injury of dozens of ISIS elements.”
> Element?

From Military Terms:

element
An organization formed around a specific function within a designated directorate of a joint force commander’s headquarters.
The subordinate components of an element usually are functional cells.
