| #6 Kurds are solid. Favorable terrain, western oriented populace, no issues with religion, liberty of Kurdistan is first and foremost for them. And they treat "contractors" well. |

| #5 U.S. Firm Taps Ex Operators to Fight ISIS Sounds suspiciously like something Bill O'Reilly suggested. |

| #4 The only group that mercenaries should fight for in the ME are Kurds or Israel. Iraq is a hot bed of hate between shiites, sunnis, government forces, al queda, and isis. They all hate each other, and armed to the teeth by the DOD against ISIS, they will turn against each other with those arms at any opportunity possible. |

| #3 I was recruited to do some "special" things for the white farmers in Rhodesia back in the day. The pay was outrageous, $10,000 per month...a friend of mine in Brit Intell told me the reason the pay was so high, the job was a sure deader. A lot of them were caught by rebels and what they did to mercenaries in Rhodesia when they caught them was the stuff of horror movies. I doubt if ISIS will be any kinder to a mercenary, US or other, fighting against them when caught. |

| #2 Victor Laszlo: You ran guns to Ethiopia. You fought against the fascists in Spain. Rick: What of it? Victor Laszlo: Isn't it strange that you always happen to be fighting on the side of the underdog? Rick: Yes. I found that a very expensive hobby, too. But then I never was much of a businessman. |

| #1 I can see this happening more and more as fighters are needed in terrorist controlled areas, but nations don't have the political will at home to put troops on the ground. |
