John was the kind of guy who wasn’t afraid to stand by his ideals even if the world was against him. I learned this about him very quickly from early on. We first met early in 2015, in Daquq at the Peshmerga’s 9th Brigade. He seemed eager to get into the action and mix it […]
It’s been quite some time since the “end” of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the point where the last of the U.S. military’s forces egressed out of their respective AOs. But the remnants of their time here can still be found from time to time. In particular, a large footprint can be found deep in Kirkuk, at […]

Check out the trailer for SOFREP’s upcoming mini-documentary series in which I rolled out with the Peshmerga on an offensive against ISIS outside Kirkuk, examined Turkish airstrikes in Qandil, and interviewed Americans serving alongside Kurdish forces. Below you will see some footage of the Peshmerga advance into ISIS territory, all while IED’s were going off […]
Why do so many Kurds from so many different walks of life think that ISIS is an American construction?
Kurdistan’s Counterterrorism Group (CTG) operators are nearly indistinguishable from a Western special operations unit.
Reporters seeking to feed the beast that is the 24-hour news cycle have ignored the facts in a friendly fire case between the Peshmerga and CANSOF.
