Nick Irving, known as “The Reaper,” is one of the most lethal snipers in U.S. military history — but some of his most impactful missions didn’t happen under traditional military command. In this clip, Irving discusses his involvement in CIA-linked operations and the reality of missions that exist outside public narratives.

The conversation sheds light on how these missions actually worked, why they remained classified for so long, and how operating in that space differs from conventional warfare. This isn’t a movie version of covert action — it’s a grounded look at how modern intelligence operations really function.
Inside this clip:
• How Nick Irving became “The Reaper”
• CIA-linked missions outside conventional warfare
• Why these operations stayed classified

No sensational leaps.
Just operations — and what stays in the shadows.
