#1 Great read.

When I read that the Peshmergas were next to the paras in the dark & they didn't know it, I wondered what the Peshmergas must have thought when they woke up & saw those guys on the scene.

#2 From time to time I watch Kurdish TV. One day there was a kind of mini-documentary with no speech, only songs who was broadcast in a loop. In it there were images of partisans marching in the mountains, of demonstrators apparently confronting the police and of a sky full of jumping paratroopers.

It seems the Kurds remind you.
