Vice channel is generally a leftist propaganda machine, but they do show some interesting stuff occasionally.

Hunting Isis is worth a watch if you have a strong stomach.

It is about several americans who joined the YPG in iraq and Syria attacking Isis. Couple of guys are fighters. Couple are medics.

It is interesting because you have real, actual combat footage from a modern middle eastern war.

it gives a small window on that world that i have not seen elsewhere.

However, it will make an impression on you emotionally, because it does not filter a whole lot. You will watch sniper kills. You will see body parts scattered by mortar fire. You will watch families bring their dying, mangled bleeding children in, and you will watch some die in very gruesome fashion.

Do not watch if you dont want to handle that.

Agreed that the unfiltered images can be rough to see but it makes the impact more real. It's a gut check show vs the crap they're shoveling out on major networks as "reality" tv.

Where can we watch this?
Is it on YouTube?

Edit: Or better yet how long is it? Found it on YouTube and it's 47 minutes on there. Is this the full documentary?

This was released months ago on one of the Nat Geo channels (if I recall correctly) And is not an original Vice program.

That said, I watched it when it was first out and enjoyed it. There are some aspects that I kind of rolled my eyes at, but overall it was a good watch. In fact, I'll agree that it's one of the better insights to the realities of the ME as I've seen elsewhere.

There are quite a few Instagram guys I follow who were embedded with the YPG and they don't really hold back on posting details.

ISiS is the most evil foe we have ever faced and it's hard to elicit anything from me but satisfaction when I see their heads canoed, and I honestly wish this would have shown more of that

Yes I caught it on vice. That's a direct tv channel. But it is available elsewhere also.

have not, but sort of curious about how any american could ever be that ****ed up. or any human really.

as far as it not being entertainment? not following that post. it's a Nat Geo TV show. Pretty sure that qualifies.
