bouncing.”
    Liam turned. “Ella, what about us? Do you want to see where this is taking us?”
    Her blue eyes had a gleam. “If I say yes, does that mean you’ll let me travel with you as an embedded journalist?”
    He blinked. “Wait. What?”
    She was a journalist. She would never let something worthy off the hook. “Well, how else are we going to get to know each other? You travel around and guard and deliver stuff. I travel around and watch and report stuff. Why not let me watch and report while you guard and deliver? You’ll make a good story.”
    His brows shot up. “Is that all I am to you? A good story?”
    She leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips softly. Small butterfly kisses. The kind that made a man’s heart turn to mush.
    “We get to talk a lot...long, interesting stories you can tell me. Your big penis can get in on these conversations too, if you like.”
    “Oh, yeah?” His penis seemed to be agreeing to this without any fight.
    “Yeah. I kinda like the way he gets all Shakespearean and then he weeps in joy.” She lifted the bed cover and peeked under. “There he is, all weepy again.”
    Liam threw back his head and laughed. “You win. We’ll have to negotiate the details later. But right now, I know a way you can make him very happy.”
    He watched as Ella pulled the covers away and got on top of him. Her legs climbed on each side of his body, trapping him.
    “Bounce, bounce, bounce,” she said.
    They both laughed. Liam pulled Ella down for a full kiss. She might not know it yet, but he intended to keep this sassy and brave woman by his side with the longest stories.

    P eshmerga female fighters
    The Peshmerga is a fierce fighting force. They are Kurds, whose history had always been rooted in warrior lore. The Kurds and their long-fought battle for Kurdistan make interesting historical reading. Divided and living without a country in three main countries—Syrian, Iraq and Turkey—they formed various militant factions, some of which had been condemned as terrorist groups. One of them is the PKK, a group against whom Turkey had fought for decades, jailing their leader and expelling others.
    Through the centuries, the Kurds had suffered many trials and tribulations after losing their land. Saddam Hussein had killed thousands, poisoning them with gas. Many still live like nomads in the desert, preferring to be “free” on their own terms.
    I have done extensive research on the female fighters and their power within this army. The women leaders lived in Paris and in the last few years, there have been a series of incidences of intrigue and murder.
    Here are photos of this group of brave women who had chosen to fight when thousands of men fled.

    Friendly fire
    This is when a military force attacks a friendly side by mistake, with tragic results. There was one such incident involving Canadian Special Forces in 2015. One Canadian spec. operative was killed by mistake, and several injured, by Kurdish fighters.
    Through the years, many such incidences have been covered up. In the cases involving special operations, most deaths were just reported without details because the missions were secret.
    The most famous recent case is the death of Army Ranger Patrick Tillman, a successful NFL football star who gave up his career because of 9/11. He wanted to serve his country and went on several tours before being killed by friendly fire.
    Fire team
    A team of four SEALs, out on smaller operations. A SEAL team usually has 8 men but they do go out in smaller groups on certain missions.
    DAESH
    The correct way to call ISIS or ISIL terrorists. The Arabs call them Daesh (pronounced Dash)  The word is an Arabic acronym of al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Iraq wa ash-Sham – meaning the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams – but Daesh when spoken sounds
