FORMER US SOLDIER, OTHER WESTERNERS JOIN KURDS IN IRAQ TO BATTLE ISIS by EDWIN MORA6 Feb 201532 Americans, including a former U.S. soldier, and other Westerners have joined Kurdish forces battling Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL) jihadists on the ground in Iraq. “I’m not going back until the fight is finished and ISIS is crippled,” former U.S. Army soldier Jordan Matson, a 28-year-old from Sturtevant, Wisconsin told The Associated Press. “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.” Matson was described by AP as carrying “a sniper rifle slung over his shoulder and [wearing] a Rambo-styled bandanna around his head.” AP spoke to Matson, three other Americans, and an Australian national.
