Gayle Tzemach Lemmon joins Andrea Mitchell to talk about her new book "The Daughters of Kobani," which details the stories of Kurdish women and their fight against ISIS in Syria. "It's not just that they're leading in battle, it's that they have the full respect of the men they serve alongside and huge, deep respect from the U.S. special operations soldiers alongside whom they were working," Lemmon says. Aired on 02/17/2021.

KUDOS!!! TO GAIL👍…#WOMANFIGHTERS
Kudos to the Kurds.
Wow Fantastic!!!
The kurds that were abandoned by their ally, the usa.
Bin Laden was another one, and look how that ended.. Iran, former ally – the US helped the Shah take power, that didn’t go so go either (for Iranians, that is). Wonder how the Kurds will take it.
Ah yes, the Kurds. The people who were our allies and did all of our fighting in the Middle East, until the last president hung them out to dry, giving Russia a foothold in the region, and telling them, “you’re on your own.” 🙄
Ah, those brave Kurds. 💪
These are amazon women. Strong, beautiful, educated, and bold.
Fear a woman with a gun
These women make groups like the proud boys look like….well….little boys.😆
And Trump betrayed them as a favor to Putin and Erdogan.
May they succeed, where trump failed them. Once our allies, trump turned his back on them in favor of Russia and turkey. The Turkish intercepted phone call? Only but one secret. How many more?
Long Live Kurdistan!
Thank you, Mrs. Lemmon, for bringing us their story.
The mothers of our children are stronger and more capable than we could ever give them credit for
I want to read this book right now!
There has been a lot of talk lately about democratic and freedom, but true patriots of such know that what these women are doing is pure democracy and fighting for rights.
In America, women did this by keeping the economy and country running. It is amazing to see women do this by standing toe to toe with military!
Despite its extremely primitive history, America could soon have its first female president, although many in that backward nation have made it abundantly clear they would rather have the most inept, corrupt and sociopathic male occupying that office, committing all manner of crimes – including treason, insurrection and murder – with impunity.
Those women better have a seat at the table after all is said and done.
Strong, courageous, independent women! An inspiration to freedom fighters around the world!
The IMPEACHMENT PLOT against Trump FAILED again 🇨🇳
God Bless these women! And you going there to help everyone new the truth!!
We need more women like that in the United States of America, we need more women like that in our government! specially Republicans that can stand up to men like trump!
