63 year old Abu Tahseen martyrs over 173 ISIS fighters
2016-03-20
[American Military News] Meet Abu Tahseen, the 63 year old Iraqi man that has fought in five wars and is now wiping out ISIS thugs one by one!

Tahseen, who looks an awful lot like the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man In The World" fights for the Hashd Al-Shaabi militia -- A Shia group. He currently is stationed in the Makhoul Mountains in North Baiji, Iraq.

The five wars Tasheen has fought in are: Yom Kippur war, Iran-Iraq war, Invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War and now the fight against ISIS.
So his score thus far is: Lost, Tie, Lost, Lost. Or that of his side, anyway. Hopefully fifth time is the charm.
In the below video, we see this senior assassin in action. At one point he says:

"I swear, I guarantee by God when he falls, this pushes him back a metre before putting him down."

It looks like there is no slowing down for him either.

"I’m relaxed, my mind is relaxed. Last time they gave me a month off and after 12 days I came back."

Many Iraqi military vets, who may have fought against U.S. troops, went to Syria to take on ISIS. However, after ISIS invaded Mosul, they came back home to defend their homeland.

#2  He won the Yom Kippur war single malt.

#1  The guy is apparently talented and sincere but it is a bit difficult to accept his metrics.

But what is the point of showing his face. Doesn't this make him easier for ISIS to kill? Even if he is under US protective surveillance.
