    The Secret Lives of young ISIS Fighters (BBC News)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/is_fighters

    "Three young IS militants lie dead on the banks of the River Tigris.

    They left behind personal photos and documents which reveal the extraordinary story of their private lives."

    "Mohammed is giddy with excitement as he films the discovery of three IS fighters on his mobile phone.

    “Shoot him,” he shouts, gesturing at one of them.

    His nervousness gives him away as the unit’s cook. He’s unarmed, but his fellow soldiers from the Iraqi police special forces - known as the Emergency Response Division - are armed to the teeth and are not taking any chances. Two of the IS fighters are clearly dead. One, most likely a boy, is buried under the rubble of concrete bunker. His small, blackened hand sticks out from mangled remains. Nearby, an older fighter lies in the grass. His eyes are open, but part of his head is missing. He died in the same airstrike that took out the bunker.

    But it is the third man, lying in the shadows, further ahead on the path alongside the River Tigris, who has the soldiers worried."

    Interesting read.

    (Mod: I hope I posted this up within the rules. I did it the way I see other people do it)

    Useful idiots. There always seem to be plenty to go around no matter how goofy the cause.

    Which they forfeited when they joined a violent death cult that was devoted to killing innocents and destroying lives.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Glad they're dead. With any luck their friends will join them soon.

    They died as fighters, but they died as fools. Pity should be reserved for the people they once lived among, who were abused and killed as the young men sacrificed all around them, for their caliphate.

    I'm sure someone in Hollywood will make a documentary based upon that article and it will sweep the award season.

    You know, misunderstood victims of climate change and the White patriarchy keeping them down.

    Good riddance. If you want to see the fate of ISIS fighters these days and you have Instagram, i would suggest following Soldier_Kurdistan. I'm not in any way affiliated with them, but it's probably the best page i've found showing how the Kurds are dealing with ISIS over there
