An Emerald Isle North Carolina mom travels to Iraq to join Kurds in ISIS fight


A North Carolina mother of three young children has traveled to Iraq to join the Kurdish Peshmerga in the fight against ISIS terrorists.

Samantha Johnston, 25, of Emerald Isle, N.C., is the only known American woman on the ground assisting in the fight against ISIS.

Johnston served in the United States Army from 2008 until 2011, and has been embedded with a Peshmerga unit near the city of Kirkuk for just over two months.

Her 5-year old and two 3-year-old twins are in the care of her family until she returns to America.

    Some women will do anything to get out of raising their own children.

      True, but this one came across as believable to me.
