She went to help those displaced by IS....she was working with the Yeziti
Yes and she was safely in Turkey doing just that ...helping refugees...when she took it upon herself to travel with her Syrian paramour into extremely dangerous Aleppo in ISIS country as an American against his strongly advised wishes
An issue they had argued about repeatedly
He made her wear a full Hajib with veil and ordered her not to address him in public in Syrian territory
At the Doctors without Borders hospital in Aleppo where he was doing Internet work she in her poor judgement ignored her husbands wise instructions removed her head gear and spoke English openly which alarmed locals there who knew this put her and anyone around her who failed to give her up in grave danger
On the exit from the facility ISIS was waiting and grabbed her having been tipped off and we subsequently sent a team to try to rescue her later but too late
Young idealistic women in America have been ingrained with purpose and invincibility and in her case ignored caution given where she was and paid a dear price
It’s most unfortunate but few civilians especially young women have zero business in a war zone where Americans are the primary target of opportunity
It puts them and all around them in danger especially with a group like. ISIS not bound by any sense of morality
It was very naive and it got her tortured raped and killed regardless of her good intentions or apparent bravery while captured
You should read more about her background
She without question merits the hero treatment far more than Jessica Lynch ever did
Yes I’m sexist......thank God
