Commendable, but leaving 3 kids behind? Couldn’t she help out in some other way?

I read the article. She does not like obummer! She told it the way it is. He does not care nor does he do enough to help over there.

I hear what you guys are saying, but I wonder if I would say it if it was a guy. But boy, for kids to lose a mother...

I’m torn.

I do, however, know that i feel like a weasel while i sit here with crumbs no my T shirt from a pastry while she’s risking Everything to stop ISIS.

as much as I wish she was there for her kids instead of doing what she is doing this is a feminist that I can respect fighting those that truly are the enemy of women rather then complaining about a perceived inequality.

Hell of a woman, she is. Pray for her safety, good aim and courage.

Sorry....Your responsibility is to those children first.

Almost looks like an ego trip.

Bad bad thing to name her ,, show her picture , and give her location

She surely has a high price on her head

I have faith in the Kurds, they’ll watch over her. Looks like America has what amounts to a shield maiden there. :)

I guess OpSec isn’t a thing anymore. ISIS needs to be fought, and credit to anyone who joins the fight. But I feel more and more westerners are going over there and shouting “Look at me!”

I agree. Send t shirts, food, tissue paper etc.

However, I commend her for being there instead of us complaining about her decision.

See post 17, I agree with your sitrep too. I would prefer she just send food stuff to help the cause but I believe she thought this through so I commend her.
