Bikers.

This is coolbert.

Not for fifty years has there been anything like this.

Yet one instance of foreign nationals joining the anti-ISIL coalition. Sadar is not alone.

Dutch motorcycle enthusiasts volunteering for military service fighting on the side of the Kurds. And doing so with the hope they will remain together as a unit.

"Dutch biker gang grabs rifles, joins Kurds in fight against ISIS"

"Members of a massive Dutch motorcycle gang, armed with Kalashnikov rifles, recently joined Kurdish forces battling the Islamic State in Iraq, vowing to 'exterminate the rodents.'”

"The leader of No Surrender -- which has dozens of chapters in the Netherlands and across Europe -- told state broadcaster NOS on Friday that three of its members have traveled to Mosul in Northern Iraq to take up the fight against ISIS"

Anyone devoted reader to the blog have a knowledge of No Surrender? Are they what are normally termed as "outlaws". Meaning bikers that engage in organized criminal behavior.

I know that "outlaw" motorcycle gangs in the past several decades have proliferated in Europe in prodigious numbers.

These gangs finding their natural enemy to be THE MUSLIM IMMIGRANT WHO IS A COMPETITOR IN THE UNDERGROUND AND ILLEGAL EUROPEAN DRUG TRADE!

During that era of the Vietnam War the famous/infamous leader Sonny Barger of the American Hells' Angels "outlaw" motorcycle gang sent a telegram to then President Johnson volunteering the service of the gang for military duty. Barger made two proviso: 1. The gang be allowed to stay together as a unit, 2. They be allowed to bring their motorcycles with them. President Johnson most understandably so denied the request without comment or response.

Well, once in fifty years I guess we can live with that.
