Pray for our Christian brethren in the Middle East -- Support Assad
No guns to "moderate" Islamics -- support the Kurds and the Christians

This must be galling to the Sultan in Washington.

C.S. Lewis stared down and won the “no violence” nonsense in many of his works (I think it was best addressed in”Screwtape Letters”).
Good is not Meek. It was severe violence that met and defeated the Nazis.
God does not support wussies. He does not condone violence for no good reason but He demands support for freedom, even if it costs one’s lives.
The dead over so many wars bear witness that God insists on freedom.
God Bless this militia — I will be looking to see how I can support them monetarily!

Indeed, all the Muslim Brotherhood associates in Obama’s White House and sprinkled through the Executive Branch must be besides themselves.
And it is about time the Christians in Iraq and Syria armed themselves and fought back.

The Kurds have definitely proven that they should have their own independent country of Kurdistan. For that matter, we should give them Iraq.

They need to declare their own state. It has become clear that if Christians in the ME are to survive, they must band together and declare an independent Christian nation, like Armenia

I tried to find some information about this place and I see that they have a
website in English and a
photo gallery. God bless these people.

God gave us life. HE also gave the moral obligation to defend it.

In my opinion, faith is greater than military experience. Where the black banner of ISIS once stood, the flag of the Iraqi Christian fighters now flies high over Bakufa.Christus vincit! Ping!

As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.” Leviticus 26:36

A military fact of life is fatigue. Even in western armies, fatigue brutally degrades combat effectiveness, which is why they go to extraordinary lengths to mitigate it.
With a slap-dash organization like ISIS, “the clock is running” on how long they will be able to offensively and defensively fight, before they burn out.
PTSD is not unique to Americans. Undisciplined, irregular forces get it far worse than trained and disciplined soldiers as well.
