A group of former U.S. Special Operations Veterans have launched a crowdfunding campaign, Operation Limitless Compassion, to help the Kurds fight off ISIS terrorists in Iraq. Castle International, a world-wide air ambulance company founded and operated by former special operations volunteers, is leading the way to provide pro-U.S. Kurdish fighters with desperately needed humanitarian aid, medical training, medical supplies, and combat training. Recon teams from Castle International have already deployed to northern Iraq to offer direct assistance to Kurdish fighters and more will head to the region in November. Castle International has launched two crowdfunding sites to gather donations, GoFundMe and YouCaring.com, with a goal of raising $100,000 for the operation.

1) I can't imagine $100,000 would go very far at all

2) I vaguely recall legislation on "mercenaries", does this come into effect here?

100k may not got far but just getting some SOF medics on the ground teaching medical skills and some teaching combat skills goes very very far........

What's that saying, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish.......;)

Leading to my second question...

Why in the fuck don't we have an SF company there right now....the kurds are the only fighting force in the area worth a damn....

Let me guess....Turkish / Russian / EU Geopolitics....?

Yup politics, if we "officially" assist the Kurds we flip off the Turks..... remember we have bases in Turkey......

Screw the Russians, they can do whatever they want where ever they want.

Our discussion is very pertinent to the thread. There's a reason Operation Limitless Compassion came into being and you hit the nail on the head.

I'm envisioning, a $100,000 amount turning up in their crowd raising account reading

....CIA ;)

too obvious?
