A U.S. Army Iraq war vet plans to take a team of veterans back to the Middle East to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Sean Rowe, of Jacksonville, Florida, served on active duty in the Army for 8 years, which included two tours in Iraq. He said he can no longer sit by and do nothing.
This is something I feel compelled to do, Rowe said. Women and children are being slaughtered over there. They need our help. I know we can make a difference.
Rowe started Veterans Against ISIS to take the fight to the terrorists on their own turf.
They have more HUMINT; we have unparalleled ISR. In this environment, it’s damn near a toss up.
The US is not playing to win. The only ones who are playing to win are the YPG, but they are not interested in taking over or defending either Syria or Iraq—they only want their piece.
