I am not, nor was I ever, a mercenary, and the few times that people felt sorry enough to give me a few dollars, it was always far short of delaying my imminent 2015 bankruptcy, and was geared toward providing rations outside of standard chow.
Daesh is an apocalyptic, merciless crusade that employs fear and terrorism to propagate its message and impose its rule.
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 […]
Okay, so this entire situation is starting to get a little irritating.
As we go to press, Iraqi Special Operations Forces are entering the city center of Ramadi to liberate it from ISIS.

The Houthis (a.k.a. Ansar Allah) in the region are a coalition of Shia Islamic forces—anti-U.S. and anti-Sunni. Despite the usual principle of “the enemy of […]
According to individuals with direct knowledge of Central Intelligence Agency operations within the agency’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC), Islamic State (IS, ISIS, Daesh) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his senior lieutenants are capable strategists. These ISIS leaders, assess some counterterrorism officials, feel that the United States is reeling in the face of recent setbacks in Iraq […]
A ragtag group of backwater extremists have risen to international media heights and challenged the peace of mind and collective safety of the free world. Generally speaking, most people know little about them. A dangerous position, and if one man is historically noted as an expert on that point, it is Sun Tzu. In his classical […]
The reality of this is that Turkey could have simply called this the unfortunate situation that it is, apologized, and asked how to make it right instead of escalating it into an international political spectacle.
On December 2nd at 22:30 GMT, following a day long debate in Parliament, politicians in the United Kingdom voted by a majority of 174 in favor of the government’s plan to carry out bombing operations on Daesh targets in Syria.
