ISIS doesn’t stand a chance against da Bronx!

A single dad from Sound View credits his hard-scrabble New York upbringing with inspiring him to fight against terrorists in Syria.

Now, instead of overhead rumblings of the No. 6 train, Robert Rose Jr., 25, is used to the sounds of war while on his second tour in the city of Hasakah, where he’s fighting with the Kurdish militia group “Lions of Rojava.”

I’ll say a prayer for his safe return. If Rose is his last name, some ISIS may assume he his of Jewish descent and attack him just for that alone.

Nuts. Oh well, it’s his life.

Agreed. ISIS is awful, but Assad and his Hezbollah/Iranian buddies are hardly any better, and that’s who Rose will be fighting for, whether he likes it or not. Charity begins at home.

“A single dad “

I guess fighting ISIS is more important than watching his kid.

Child support issues, maybe?
