The Brits love a good fight

One veteran told the paper: “I and several colleagues all ex-armed forces have formed a small unit which is open for any English speaking individuals from any nation. We will be in Syria within weeks and are training everyday. We intend to submit our skills to the people of Kurdistan.
“Although we wear a similar uniform to UK armed forces, we have no association to them other then the fact that we are ex-armed forces. Our cap badge is lightning crossed by a sword, Cita et Certa - Swift and Sure. We will deploy a strong force to aid the Kurdish militias. We intend to work as one effective, rather than split or tag onto other militia units.
“We intend to be a serious asset.”

On a side note I wonder if this will be come the new Rhodesia, a gathering place for mercenaires and other adventure seekers. Certainly, after Iraq and Afghanistan there is no lack of individuals that might be struggling to slip back into civie life.
