i was listening to local station and they had one of these guys who fights with Kurds over in turkey.He had just come back, and was heading back after family dealios.

he said they have to use gofundme pages for ammo n such. And that the Obama led Armed forces are doing nothing, but trying to take credit for their gains.

They have to get the French to give them cover and air support. He said US forces don't even acknowledge them.

Also, when you hear gains by forces, it's not anything USA is involved in, it's the Kurds+These freedom fighters. They are over there in the shite storm, trying to stop isis from taking more cities in area.

He said he would like to see Obama and his cronies actually commit to this fight vs ISIS. They grow tired of having to ask france and others to help them, while USA leaders basically tell them to FO, but claim all gains these fighters win.

This gentleman had more to offer than those that need their "safe space"

I think that's awesome. That's called living your life. I'm a piece of shite compared to that kid.

I bet they wish they'd taken him now. He sounds like just the kind of guy we need.

I don't think you'll like the Turkey you'll find now.

It's not the vacation you saw in Midnight Express.

I read the Corps didn't take him due to an eye issue.

My parents generation had Jack Kerouac and Holden Caufield. We have dudes who go to Turkey to fight ISIS with the Kurds.

Call the Kurds "Turks" and you won't be fighting next to them very long.

If I lost everything...wife and kids, parents. It would be an option. Go over there and kill as many godless death cult "Muslims" as possible.

No doubt

Funny because I just listened to a KCRW podcast earlier discussing this.
