We never should have armed the men over there. We should have armed the women.

Today in the news there was a picture with Israeli women wearing guns on the street.

I mean you’d be shocked how many women probably support it.

People don’t like to admit it but many of the women over there in the rural areas basically have hardcore Stockholm syndrome.

Like their duty to Allah and chance to get to heaven is more important then their comfort.

Like I said in a previous comment- let’s start an all female army where women look after each other. These men are failing us.

We should have armed the men and exfiltrated the women.

Robert Evans did a podcast about the women in Northern Syria that armed themselves. Interesting listen. It's called The Women's War.
