Unfortunately this is a political move to pacify (waste of time) Erdogan who fears Kurds running the place which is predominantly Arab.
But I think they have also turned into pretty good soldiers.
I doubt they are in the same catagory with the Kurds, 3 years is a long training period. And battle is brutal but effective teacher.
I totally admire them. But you know that already.
All I can think about today is the Siege of Kobani. That city name should be the battle cry tomorrow or when this does kick off. Remember Kobani.
I looked back at my Twitter timeline and was still choked up remembering how totally desperate those days were. 3 years is a long time, but my emotions concerning that are still plenty deep.
Having a clue about your background, I suspect you still have days like that from remembering your past.
Remember Sinjar!
It is time to pay them back.
