They are anarcho-leftist, environmentally conscious, secular, socialist and radically devoted to equality of the sexes. Hmmmm. Maybe they have a spot for a gal from ny? They'll probably have to teach her how to shoot yucky guns and stuff but she checks the other boxes.

The US will manage to get them wiped out, anyway.

Some of those Kurdish women have more balls than a lot of American guys.

The article is pure garbage. Yes, Ocalan and the PKK have that element.

Our soldiers know better than to measure them all by garbage from US based media.

The SDF have foreign leftist supporters. And they have some that support them that are anything but leftist.

The women who defended Kobane were defending their lives. To be captured by ISIS meant rape, torture, dismemberment, and slow painful death to all. Ideology was not what caused them to hang on so desperately during the Siege of Kobane or after as the battle expanded. I watched it daily and have had conversations with some of them for the past 5 years. I know what they are and aren’t. They are as brave as hell, and the women (and men) are fierce fighters but compassionate people too.

I’m proud to call some of them friends.

Could have come straight out of Monty Python’s The Holy Grail.
