    I'm sorry but this is the final post that has defined you. You obviously are a suicidal idiot! They will so cut your head off and we'll probably be able to see it on YouTube.

    Yeah. I wonder how many western volunteers will end up being sold to isis.

    Don't go alone. You would need help getting there, and your "helper" is just as likely to sell you to ISIS. Especially if they are associated with the Turkish government/military. I would suggest trying to volunteer through one of the European motorcycle clubs that are helping the Kurds, if you can find a way to make contact with them. I'd be wary of them as well, as many are criminals, but I'd trust any of them before I'd trust a Turk.
    If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

    12 string guitars only have 6 extra strings, but they're 85 TIMES as likely to be used in a song about wizards.

    Can you tell a Kurd from a Turk?

    First, you have to get there. Probably by crossing the Turkish border with the help of Kurds on the Turkey side. There's no guarantee the "Kurd" trying to help you is really a Kurd, Turkish military intelligence isn't stupid and they hate the Kurds. Even in Northern Iraq, everyone isn't Kurdish. You may even run into a Kurd who sees you as a profit opportunity, not every Kurd has a heart of gold - they're good and bad just like any other group of people. You've never been to this part of the world and you have no idea what you are doing, even in just trying to link up with legitimate Kurdish forces. The first three ISIS video subjects were all a hell of a lot savvier than you in running around this part of the world, and they still got their heads cut off.

    I say go for it.

    Have fun and try not to get sold as a hostage on your way there.

    It's a well thought out plan with obvious "SuperrrrrGeniussss!" precision plotting...how could anything go wrong?

    I knew the plan was genius the instant I read the phrase "Kurd Country".

    Oh dear God..... what is WRONG with you?

    Do you have some romantic visions of stealthily creeping around bombed out buildings and shooting at bad guys with your WASR-10?

    It might be fun... until a little 125 grain 7.62 bullet blows off your arm or head.

    Damn dude... shave the shit off your face, get a mans haircut and find a girlfriend. You'll live longer.

    I have been reading how Danish & German biker gangs are going over to Kurdistan to fight ISIS. This could become the 21st century crusade.

    If you really want to go you better find kurdish contacts here in the states first.

    Ya know, you could scrounge up that dough pretty quick if you sold that amp. Pretty fair chances you won't be using it again.
    Otherwise, if you want to do good work for people in poor countries consider www.peacecorps.gov
    CHOOT UM!

    I was hoping he'd let me watch it for him "until" he comes back.
