Wars there come and go and are something of a constant. I found an Assyrian Christian defense group that looks promising. Might be a good opportunity to get some guys real world operational experience and do the right thing by some people.

Having friends in a foreign sovereign nation with no formalized extradition process and a reasonably friendly population might not be such a bad thing.

The Autonomous zone thing here in the US is not looking very promising right now, but over in the Kurdish areas, yeah, it's open fighting, but it seems like you get as good a chance as anybody who is in the game. Maybe a little better with the right spiritual help.

Personally, I think it's a whole lot more honorable than doing nothing but expecting to just "rapture out of the tribulation" when it all goes down.

Safe bet, in my book, this is one of those "wars and rumors of wars" sorts of things.
