Putting shame to the male refugees.
Via CBC News:
Four months after she graduated high school, Shaelynn Jabs went to Syria to join the fight against ISIS, where she took part in a women’s revolution few westerners have even heard about.
Her mother dropped her off at the airport. They both found the courage to say goodbye, knowing they might never see each other again.
Many times during the months she fought with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, the 19-year old thought she might die. Once, on a rooftop, she was scouting for ISIS militants, hoping to stop them before they got close enough to lob a hand grenade.
We were hearing on the radio about every five minutes one of our guys getting picked off,” said Jabs. “My female commander got shot, and then my German friend got shot in the head.”
Peering through the scope on her rifle, she could clearly see the militants faces.
“You just shoot,” said Jabs. “You don’t even think about it. Because you don’t want to die and you don’t want your friends to die.”
She shot at the enemy but said that part is simply too “hard to talk about.”
Wanted to save livesJabs didn’t go to Syria to kill militants. She just wanted to save lives. But she soon joined the fighting, she said, because “you have to fight before you can do any medicine.”
In her final two years of high school, she used online resources to learn how to treat combat wounds.
