How do I prepare for combat without ever having been in the military or law enforcement? I'm in good shape, and I'm a pretty decent marksman. However, I hate my life. I've come very close to killing myself. One person told me exactly what I needed to hear: that I'm a pussy for taking the easy way out, and that if I really want to die I should just go to Syria and die for a cause.

So that's what I'm going to do. I'm trying to get in contact with the Lions of Rojava (YPG group). Once I figure out how to get over there and everything, I'll be off. I have no family or friends, I won't be missed.

What are some tips before I head off? How do I prepare myself for war? I like to think I'll be able to hack it, but what if I just freeze up when (if) I actually get into combat?

Any tips would be helpful. I'm already planning on keeping a small revolver or something handy in case I'm in danger of capture. I won't be featured on one of ISIS's home movies.
>>
>>33141942
Better hurry.

Also I have heard it is minimum of $10K just to get across the border.

YPG will either train you, or use you behind the lines. My guess would be the latter.
>>
>>33141942
If you go to Syria with the intent to engage in war you will have your US citizenship revoked.
>>
People who want to die make terrible soldiers

Also reported to the FBI
>>
>>33141971
I have $30,000 in cash that I can use for equipment and whatnot. I would hope they don't use me behind the lines. Like I said, I'm not a bad shot and I love all things military related so I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on different weapons, their effective ranges, how they work, etc. Grant I realize I don't need to know a FAMAS is lever delayed blowback to use one to shoot somebody, I'm just saying I'm familiar with weaponry.

I don't want to be a "sniper" but I think my best use would be as a sort of designated marksman.

Also, why should I hurry? Are the Kurds in danger of being wiped out or something?

If he didn't advertise it could he go and come back with no one knowing?

Also does that apply to going anywhere? How about Ukraine?
>>

Don't do it selfishly. Do it as a Holy Crusade. Protect the virtuous Jews, Muslims, and Christians of the Middle East. Then will your life improve.

>>33141942
Do you speak any of the native languages?
How the fuck do you think you will be of any use when you wont even be able to communicate without an interpreter chained to you side?
>>
>>33142003
Did you read my post? I'm going there with the intent to die, I don't give a shit about my citizenship.

Also, that isn't automatic grounds for the revoking of your citizenship. If I recall correctly, you lose your citizenship if you serve in a foreign military that is fundamentally opposed to the United States or something. Lots of Americans in WWI and WWII served in the militaries of foreign countries that were fighting the Germans and Japs before the US became involved. And the US already probably has boots on the ground in Syria fighting with the YPG and other anti-government forces.
>>33142013
It's not that I want to I just don't care if I do. If I end up making it home from the ordeal, maybe I'll have found a new outlook on life. And if I don't, at least I did my part in beating back those ISIS faggots
>>
>>33142032
>If he didn't advertise it could he go and come back with no one knowing?
Depends on method of travel. If he goes by plane you best fucking believe they will find out.

>Also does that apply to going anywhere? How about Ukraine?
Yes. As far as the government is concerned, you become a mercenary and they will revoke your citizenship.
>>
>>33142023
Why not join the military at home or the French foreign legion?
>>
>>33142055
Many foreign volunteers over there don't speak the Kurd language or even Arabic. I've been reading a bit on it. The Kurds know a decent amount of English, and it's very easy to pick up a language when you're completely surrounded by it. I'm also good at learning foreign languages anyways, I speak three of them.

Because the chances of me dying in either of those is extremely low, and as I said, I want this to be for some kind of cause. I can't say I'm a big fan of ISIS.
>>33142062
You do not automatically lose your citizenship if you serve as a mercenary, stop repeating this meme. A Supreme Court case ruled that an American can serve in a foreign military or fight as a mercenary as long as they do not actively engage in hostilities with a nation that the United States is at peace with.

>>
>>33142095
>>33142101
No, I'm not. Look I realize I'm not going to be able to go over there and chitchat with everybody in Kurd right away. But I really don't give a shit what you try saying because I've seen shit tons of videos and interviews now of foreigners (Brits, Australians, and yes, even Americans) serving with Kurds. They communicate with them in English, and the ones that have been there for a while do it with some Kurd mixed in as well. Not to mention that the Lions of Rojava are a foreigner unit, it's going to almost exclusively be a bunch of Europeans and Americans, with some Kurds thrown in.

If I recall, the milita groups actually use stuff like twitter and facebook for propaganda and recruitment (kinda like isis).I'd look into contacting a group you have looked into and agree with their methods/goals then contact them showing interest (I'd avoid saying you intend to die, as it may shy them away from wasting training or resources on you)

>>33142129
Well it sounds like you are competent enough to plan and execute this operation, and you seem to have the determination to see it through.

Now if you could just stop and refocus these efforts towards changing your life in a positive way that you might find some sort of contentment or satisfaction right here at home
>>
>>33142212
Yeah I'm aware of that. And yeah I've seen they have twitter groups and stuff but I'm kinda wary of contacting them that way. For starters, that leaves a paper trail back to me and if I end up living that might fuck me over down the road.

Also, maybe I worded this thread wrong. I'm not going there with the "intent to die." Let's put it this way: if God wants me to live, I'll come home safe. If not, I won't. I don't know, maybe the real reason I want to go is because I want to see the death and carnage of war to give me a reason to live. Does that make sense? It'll put shit into perspective for me. I mean here I was being a pussy wanting to kill myself because of my first world problems, with no real frame of reference with what that means. I have no appreciation for what a life is worth because I've never seen one forcibly taken from someone.

I'm not sure if that makes sense to you, but it does to me. I just feel like a drifter. If I live, I want my life to have meaning and to feel like I did something.
>>
>>33142245
see
>>33142261


I think I worded this thread wrong when I said that I wanted to die. It's not that really. I do want my life to be more positive, I do. But I just don't see that happening over here. Everything here just seems so easy and meaningless to me. I think I need to put things into perspective to appreciate the life I have more. And if I get a few good stories out of it to maybe tell my grand kids someday, all the better.

And like I said, if I don't, maybe the guy upstairs will think a little better of me for trying my best to stop some people that I consider truly evil.
>>
YPG doesn't accept foreign civilians anymore, only if you have military experience. Even if they accept you, you will not receive a combat role. Western fighters are too valuable for propaganda purpose to lose to IS. If you'd get captured you will be tortured and put on the internet for us to watch, so they'll never give you a combat role anymore. They stated on FB they do not need fighters, they need funds and material

As long as you choose a group who isnt on the CIA's or KGB/FSB shitlist It seems your bound to be safe legally.Also you should look into more discrete ways of contacting people over the internet.

I get your intent somewhat, I think its a bit of a unnecessary risk for someone who has all sorts of options open for them.Why not some peace corps like shit lord knows helping out the injured is a good way to see what you want and serve good.

But its your life.
>>
>>33141942
>How to prepare?
I don't know if there is a way. You probably have watched documentaries about the subject. Hunger, extreme cold and heat weathers are most likely worst things that you confront.

>freeze during firefight?
Go play paintball. It teaches how to suppressive fire works and combat movement. Just remember that real war has BIT DIFFERENT MECHANISMS. If lucky you will learn about managing group and how small group works in war.

Ask someone to shoot a target next to you. Bullet whizzing next to your ear will decrease combat shock when you are actually fired upon. This is risky business but if you look how they trained in Ukraine you might see the idea behind it.

Artillery or missile strike is different story.

Good luck OP. I hope you die the way you want. I know what kind of desire you are speaking about. Don't come back. You won't be "human" if you manage to come back from there. If you feel like that your time has come in fight to die. Take that fucking bullet.

I'll pray for you dude.

Stop repeating this stupid shit that you'll get your citizenship revoked. You won't. Seriously, just do a google search. There are tons of Americans who went over there and served with the YPG and some who even fought who didn't lose their passport. You only lose your citizenship if you engage in hostilities with a country that the United States is AT PEACE with. ISIS and other rebel groups are not countries. Americans have fought as mercenaries in proxy wars from Nicaragua to Rhodesia, faggot.
>>33142508
I just don't really know much about the other rebel groups and the Kurds seem to be the ones most open to foreigners. I just want to fight ISIS. And also protect Christians and Jews in Syria, if possible.

I've heard a few people suggest this now. Are the groups fighting in the Ukraine really open to foreigners?

Crimea is primarily ethnic Russians and it never belonged to the Ukraine until the 1970s or so when the Russian SSR gave it to the Ukrainian SSR due to the logistics of getting to Sevastopol.

I don't think you realize how many men the SAA has lost. They need manpower badly. Something like 25% of all Syrian Alawite men have already been conscripted, and they've turned to various militias including NDF and Lebanese Hezbollah for help. They're desperate and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to have some Western volunteers to use as cannon fodder (or even just for propaganda).

Does anyone else think it would be great if we formed some kind of Christian militia to go to these hot spots and help the civilians? I'm not talking about going there and going to the front lines right away, but simply going to where there are civilians and helping with evacuations, supplies, medical needs, while also being heavily armed for their protection and ours. It would avoid the unfortunate implications that a "crusade" would have with the public, while also allowing us to help kill a few hajis and stabilize the middle east a little bit.

If you want to avoid the crusade connotations then why attach a religion to this militia at all?

Instead of assisting war criminals why don't you join a mission in Africa or South America and actually do something good? There are hundreds of organizations that need help and nothing you do short of nuking the ME will change it.

there was some french guy, ex military but not from a fancy SF unit, who went in Ukraine and sided with pro-russian rebels.
Then he grew tired of this shit, bailed out, and is now living in the US.
How do you explain this if being part of a rebel group supposedly blocks someone from entering the US ?

>Also, why should I hurry? Are the Kurds in danger of being wiped out or something?
This is why you SHOULD NOT go.

This war is a mess. A real. Fucked up. Mess.

There are so many factions everywhere who went at war then made peace with each other, you'd have a better chance of being knowledgeable in some super complicated heroic fantasy tabletop RPG game than to be knowledgeable into factions at war in Syria, and the intense power struggle behind.

If you did not pay attention to what happened between the different players down there, you may find yourself in a very bad spot. aka : becoming part of a group at war with some people you'd not want to be at war with in the first place.

This includes Turkey (still a NATO ally even if kebabroaches are the worst) or iraqi army (because when ISIS will be defeated the iraqi will want their country back and no one gives a fuck about a kurdistan anyway) or Russia/Syria (have fun being on the news portrayed as a US mercenary).

You gotta learn who you're going to fight with first. This is not "good guys against isis".

If you don't know what's going on there or don't have the slightliest clue about it, don't go.

30k US$ will buy you a trip to some cool places and some fun times with kinky escorts. I'd go for that.

Also :

>Many foreign volunteers over there don't speak the Kurd language or even Arabic.
and it makes their lives there a PITA.
Learning the language is a necessity. Don't assume people will speak english to you just because you're a mighty 'murrican.

You're joining a literal sandnigger commie feminist militia (YPG), so I'd say nothing of value was lost. Good riddance pinko. Hopefully ISIS spends a few days pounding your tender leftist cornhole before hucking you off a roof.

Actually, there is such a thing. Check out http://www.freeburmarangers.org/ They are doing aid in Iraq in the combat areas.
>>
Anyway, let's set down the fact. Hopefully I am not messing them up further.

The Peshmerga are the main army of the kurds. They are the size of a considerable army but equipment and training are very limited and most of their forces are regional - and cooperation is limited as well. Only ethnic kurds are allowed to join, although they will accept kurds of other nationalities.

YPG are a fairly small kurd militia, whose rise to fame is that they have been in some rough combat and that they accept foreigners even of other faiths. Joining them has in the past been as simple as getting an OK after some online vetting then pay your own ticket to Baghdad where you are picked up. It's also probably going to be the most hair raising moment of your trip since others want to 'pick up' western foreigners there as well. I understand the vetting has gotten tougher what with the reduced need for fresh soldiers and the out of all proportion foreign interest for volunteering. This in spite of microscopic paychecks, very limited equipment, very limited training - that bootcamp is well meant but short on time and resources - and the considerable interest your own country will shown in you for decades to come.

You are still safer with the YPG than with any unit you might consider in Syria, because there things are a lot more fluid and the kidnapping of foreigners for extortion is practically an industry. The last guy I know of who went there from my country 'to help the fight' came back in two dozen air mail boxes. Sent separately.

Azov = rapist wannabee SS ukrainian niggers.

Why would anybody consider joining them ? I'd even rather fight for ISIS than those scumbags.
