What It's Really Like to Fight for the ISIS

**Battle footage...no blood or death**
VICE News has obtained footage taken from the headcam of an Islamic State (IS) fighter who died in March while battling Kurdish peshmerga troops in northern Iraq. The clash took place about 30 miles north of Mosul.
Unlike IS propaganda, which often presents sweeping battlefield victories, the video shows chaos, panic, and the fighters retreating.

At first it I feel good about how inept they are and it's obvious we'll beat them on the battle fields, however they'll beat us in the end because of Political Correctness. RIP Western cultures.

War is never pretty, doesn't matter what side you're on, someone is always going to die for what they believe in.

If the nuke was ever to be used again I really hope it's used on those fuckers. Just need to get them all into one spot, probably by shaving and putting lipstick on a goat somewhere.

Notice the machine gun at 2:25 falling off the ledge - and it looks like it fires a shot more inside the cabin ... it almost looks like the cameraman got hit by that one.

Clearly these men are desperate and scared, with nothing left to lose. It really is sad to watch, but most of all it's sad that this is even happening.

The worst part is that they die for an imaginary god. All religion should be discarded. When will mankind ever be free of this mental disease known as religion?

#6 Here's the thing with religion:
religion = politics (unfortunately)
faith = your way of living and your personal relationship with the thing you believe in (which I find very okay)

Religion fine as long as people don't go nuts over it and affect(negatively) others.

Personally, I find it extremely dumb and low that in 2016 (2016 people!!!) people still kill for religion.

Still, people should mind their own freekin' business when it comes to religion/faith, even if they are atheists. Being an atheist and going out and picking on people just because they believe in something, is just as dumb and annoying as wesboro baptist church trying to push their ideas into people's mind, or as (some) very annoying Jehovah witness trying to convert you, or as a muslim trying hard to convince you that Islam is the right way, and the list could go on. Everyone is free to believe in whatever they want, and others should respect that, it's even in the fundamental human rights:

Article 18 in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Article 2 - Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Religion is like a fart: it's okay doing it, everyone does it, but it's NOT OK going in a restaurant full of people and play tuba notes while everyone is eating
