The antics ISIS are getting away with in Iraq make me angry. Is there some way I can use my skills to do something against them?

My clearance expired a while ago, and I thought I'd be done with analyzing the enemy. But I read about ISIS burning people to death, destroying ancient history and acting like a bunch of self-entitled a**holes, and I want to do something about it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I really don't want to just throw money at the Red Cross. Refugee assistance is a good cause, but I want to do something more real than that to me.

The only thing you can do is train, train those who you can influence and stay vigilant.

Are you still busy with your Master's Program? If not, drop me a PM either here, on FB, or via email about a job with my employer.....

If you really, really want to go, there is nothing to stop you from going over and serving as a Mercenary of Sorts. I've read a lot from the BBC and their have been several Ex-British Soldiers and Civilians that have gone over and fought alongside the Peshmerga (Kurds). Now I suspect that when you return their would be lots of questions to make sure you weren't actually fighting for ISIS but it can be done.

Unless there is a full scale land invasion there is little anyone can do to stem the tide of this murderous gang of thugs

You can do something. Find a way to overthrow the corrupt government that we helped put into power. Replace the "elected" president with a dictator who hates Iran and will crush all that oppose him. Give everyone a job. Make a free standing army that will be the 5th largest in the world. So basically, invent a time machine and put Saddam back in power. Then you will have a stable Iraq.
