Well, I have done that for years. I had lots of conversation with one of my Senators who is on the armed services committee. (talked to his staff not him.)

I know about Assad. He does not openly persecute Christians in Syria, but neither the Arabs nor the Christians want to be under him. They want to survive first is whey he is still in power.

The Russian are no friend of freedom and certainly Assads allies the Iranians are not friends of anyone. Not even most of their own kind.

You still did not answer my question about Israel.

NDF The National Defense Force is a Syrian military group organized in 2012 by the Syrian government to form an effective, locally based, highly motivated force out of pro-government militias. The NDF was set up by the Syrian regime with the help of Iran and Hezbollah. NDF members are licensed and receive salaries and military equipment from the government. The first women’s unit of the National Defence Forces in Syria, founded in the central city of Homs in 2013, has 450 fighters from 18 to 50 years of age.

The Christian female fighters and their Kurdish allies see themselves as warriors for women’s rights who will open a new chapter for their gender in the region.

Do you work for the US government or a US government funded organization or have you ever?

I have never had a government job. I did serve as a city councilman in a town of 10,000 people once when I lived in NM. It was a non-paid position. Councilmen received free water bill, but I lived in an apartment complex and had no direct water bill, smile.

Always worked for privately held business organizations.
