The Girl Who Ran Away to Fight ISIS: 'ISIS soldiers are easy to kill'
2016-05-30
[Broadly] Joanna Palani was only 22 when she left her comfortable life as a college student behind in Denmark to join up as a YPG and Peshmerga fighter on the frontlines of the war in Iraq and Syria. She tells us how ISIS soldiers are "easy to kill," but Assad's troops are much harder.

#3  With all due respect to Kurdish Women, Kurds and Women in general, ever notice how these stories get cranked up right before something, something?

Bless 'em all though, Dawg bless them all.

#2  Garth - I thinks she is referring to the fact that the ISIS cats are all about martyrdom...the Syrian dudes not so much.

Much respect to this woman.

#1  Assad's troops are much harder

From 2011 to 2013, some 50k Syrians supporting Assad were killed (including army, national guard, militia and police). They probably weren't that hard to kill then but perhaps the ones that weren't killed are battle hardened.

Or she may be referring to Hezbollah or Iranian Special Forces.
