The women of an all-female Yazidi batallion is risking death - or worse - to fight back against the ISIS thugs who abducted, raped or murdered thousands of their people.
They were brought together by a renowned Yazidi s nger Xate Shingali, who formed the 'Sun Girls' batallion to take on Islamic State on the battlefield in Iraq.
If her troops are ever caught by the enemy, they will either be killed or, more likely, be held by the extremists as their personal sex slaves.
Even the youngest, just 17, brushes off that terrifying prospect, adding: 'Even if they kill me, I will say I am a Yazidi.'
ISIS kidnapped thousands of Yazidi women and very young girls when it stormed their villages in Sinjar province, northern Iraq, in August 2014.
Those who escaped from their clutches have told of how they endured unimaginable cruelty and sexual abuse at the hands of the ISIS fighters they were forced to marry.

The US should be supporting the Yazidi directly, by sending them arms directly.

That’s cool fact they’re wanting to kill the ISIS sickos because ISIS fighters believe they’ll never get their 72 virgins if killed by a woman.
Granted none of the ISIS animals will live on to see any form of heavenly award, but if we supply some bacon grease to those chicks, it could boost moral and put even more fear in ISIS cowards!
Removing Saddam worked out pretty well for the Arab Christians and the Yazidi’s, right Yeb?
I saw a documentary a while back about a Kurd all female fighting unit actually in combat. It was a British documentary. I was impressed - they were serious and knew what they were doing.
GW’s biggest mistake. I wonder how different things would be if Saddam were still in power though.
Hard to predict, but I feel safe in saying Iran wouldn’t be running the place like they are now.
Iran is emerging as the only effective, stable country that would be capable of keeping ISIS in line.
On the flip side, Saddam and his crazy sons would be alive and terrorizing the Iraqis and if Quesay had taken over, we would be dealing with a total sociopath.
