Hunting ISIS (History Channel)

[elephant]

I first noticed it with Discovery Channel, which used to be a favorite and then it was The Learning Channel which was the next one to start showing reality TV crap rather than anything related to learning.

And then late night TV went down hill when they got rid of Jay Leno, David Letterman and John Stewart and replaced them with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmle, Jimmy Fallon, Trever Noah, Bill Maher and Chelsea Handler. Complete Garbage!!

Honestly I stopped giving a damn about late night TV when Carson called it quits. Leno did a good job but I just didn't really care about the show anymore. Letterman got boring in the late 80s and Kimmel ceased being funny when the Man Show ended. Never really watched any of the others and with the exception of shows like Vikings and the Americans and the occasional episode of Nova I don't even watch network channel programs.

For most of the 90s I lived on Discovery, Learning and History Channel until they went to crap. Then starting with The Sopranos I pretty much just watched movie channel series. And now with Netflix I pretty much just pick and choose.

I was thinking about posting about this show after the first episode but wanted to be sure. Now I’m sure, it looks to be a great show.

In not so many words they actually pretty much tell you how to contact the YPG via social media.

Further research shows that some of the westerners fighting with the YPG are simply die hard marxists, because the eventual goal of the Kurds is a socialist government of their own, which other westerners are shocked to find out when they get over there.

Gotta hand it to them though (the volunteers) they have my respect.

I've watched the show from the beginning and like it. It is compelling and the characters bring you into their personal lives. There is one guy there that travels back to the states after 4-5 months is Syria and has a really hard time relating with his friends here. He's doing a lot of drugs back here in the States and near the end of his section of the show he basically states he's going back to Syria because its where he is most comfortable.

I’ve been watching both Hunting ISIS and Chain of Command, both very good.

War Junkies ! are still junkies.

And still safer than Heroin.

I checked out the first episode. Haven't finished it yet but seems interesting. I feel sorry for that medic from NJ. Mad seems to have a lot of demons.

This is for anyone not just Watrdawg, how are these guys going back and forth to Syria without getting on a list somewhere (DHS, DOS, etc.).

I had a colleague who was a PMC in IQ, once he tried to meet his wife in Mexico for their anniversary and got hemmed up for a spell in Israel at the airport trying to make a connecting flight. His beard, occupation, and travel history drew a reg flag.
