Pete McKenna hasn't added a story.
My name is Pete McKenna. I'm a Iraq war veteran, a traveler, and the kind of guy who likes to take a direct approach to problems. The way I see it, there's no reason to let evil run rampant when I could be shooting it instead.
That's what brought me here, to "Iraqi" Kurdistan. As the Iraqi government's army drops their weapons to flee like rabbits and the other factions of the region show themselves nearly as bad as ISIS itself, the Kurds alone stand strong. The Peshmerga, "those who face death", bravely defy ISIS to their worst and prevail. I have the honor of standing among them, and have already played my part in more than one victory. As we continue to counterattack and liberate the lands under ISIS control, I expect to see more victories still.
However, like the many other Westerners who've been moved to fight for this worthy cause, and even most of the native Peshmerga, I am a volunteer and serve mostly at my own expense, without pay save for the satisfaction of being a part of this struggle (and the occasional bit of booty). This is where you can help. No contribution is too small; every dollar, euro, pound or peso goes a long way toward day to day essentials, supplies and military gear. With your help we can see this evil wiped from the face of the earth.
Will you help us slay this dragon?
