Last August, a 28-year-old former US soldier traveled to northern Iraq where he joined the Assyrian Christian militia Dyvekh Nawsha which means “self-sacrifice” in Aramaic. It's a privately funded group numbering in the hundreds under the command of the Kurdish peshmerga that is fighting ISIS in northern Iraq and eastern Syria. Martin Himel reports.
Are they Kurdish? Why not join the Kurds?
Sorry, my mistake. You GO, young man!
Well done patriot!
If it was a snake it would have bit you! :-)
He’s doing the right thing and God bless him as our armed forces now hate Christians.
God bless this young man and may his aim be true!
Saw Machine Gun Preacher the other night on Netflix regarding ex-con and Christian convert Sam Childers who founded an orphanage and church for Sudanese children. He wasn’t a paid mercenary but used his own money and donations from others.
