As Kurdish fighters gathered around a fire in this damp, a surprising recruit wearing a tactical vest with the words "Christ is Lord" scribbled on it joined them. "I'm not going back until the fight is finished and ISIS is crippled. I decided that if my government wasn't going to do anything to help this country, especially Kurdish people who stood by us for 10 years and helped us out while we were in this country, then I was going to do something."

The Kurds, however, have turned to the Internet to find warriors, creating a Facebook page called "The Lions of Rojava" with the stated aim being to send "terrorists to hell and save humanity." The page also frequently features portraits of smiling, beautiful and heavily armed Kurdish female commanders and fighters.

I can't fight very well and have no battlefield experience, but....

I got Skype installed the other night on my PC, and sent them (The Lions of Rojava) a message on their Skype account.

Also mailed my passport renewal today from the base mailbox.

Also my checks for my new checking account are in, so I will have the option of stockpiling cash for a few months instead of paying the mortgage, and then leaving on a one-way ticket.

And too this day the leftist controlled academics claim the crusades was just about Christians going on a rampage to wipe out the poor innocent Muslims. The savages have been doing this since the days of Muhammed.

Prolly get a 2-way ticket cheaper and for a lot less hassle.
