And what are you smoking? Surely, if there was any truth to what you were saying, we'd see the Kurds complaining about being bombed? What's that, we're not? How strange...
And where is your evidence for Western shipments of arms to IS?
Syria to Obama: Quit Arming ISIS Terrorists
In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Walid al-Moallem denounced the Obama administration’s policy of arming certain militants while striking others, calling it a double-standard policy which “creates a fertile ground for the growth” of terrorist organizations.
“…What we see on the part of the U.S. administration is a double standard policy and alliances to score certain political agendas, particularly through supporting with money, weapons and training of groups they call moderate,” he said. “This is a real recipe for the increase of violence and terrorism, shedding of Syrian blood, prolonging of the Syrian crisis and demolishing of the political solution at its basis.”
“This behavior creates a fertile ground for the growth of these terrorist groups that commit the most heinous crimes on the Syrian territory, which requires all of us to seriously and effectively address and eradicate terrorism, and re-establish security and stability in Syria and the region.”

Yeah.. no this is really bad news. The kurds are supposed to be an organized fighting force defending their life. Not sacrificing themselves thinking there is a bonus.
It sounds like hell over there. Why can't one side be relatable and just want to live peacefully and fight because they are defending that life?
she decided to make the ultimate sacrifice and take her life in order to take a few IS fighters with her.

The article says she was a fighter. It doesn't say anything about her being a part of the military.
