Incredible photography and narrative of photographer's time with the SDF near Raqqa.
Human side of what I consider our best allies in Syria.

Excellent! Thank you for posting.
P.S. Is it only me, or do most of the people in those photos look stoned?

I would love to see Trump support the Kurds far more directly than we have, even if it would come with a political cost in the region.
Thanks for sharing this - very interesting read and amazing photographs.

I’ve been on board with them since Kobani.
Totally behind them (YPG & YPJ). I’ve seen enough for it to be super clear to me why they are the only path to destroying ISIS in Syria.
Turkey doesn’t care about killing ISIS, they want to dismember Syria. He wants the territory, the oil and to kill Kurds.
Erdogan’s idea of a terrorists? Anyone who disagrees with him.
He is an Islamist Dictator. He will destroy Turkey if he is given the super powers laid out in the Referendum scheduled soon. (There is talk he will postpone the vote)

No, don’t think so. I have learned that they are not prone to sleeping long. nature of keeping watch and being engaged in war sometimes for long house.
Those I hear from often convey that well.

You would be surprise how smart they actually are. Very good people too. Don’t listen to talk otherwise. Actions are a lot louder than words.

Concur across the board. Turkey has become a real threat and a questionable ally.

I’ve had people in the middle east tell me he is crazy.
I’m beginning to believe them.

I’ve spent way too many hours on this part of the world. But have grown to love the nature of the Northern Syrian Kurds.
They are to be respected. I’m convinced our military leadership shares that view. I hope we can get past the Islamist Erdogan.
Is that not the “real deal” photography?

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
