AD, are you going to answer everyone who posts a comment? There are some who will appreciate what you’re doing and some who won’t. There are some who think you’re out for fame and some who don’t. Live with it.
Anthony I see you have made this a life long commitment , I remember you from Roseau boys school. Be safe my brother.
Sam, long time. Thanks bro, at least you are not bashing me on here :-) lol.
Helpthe lady
At least you are doing something, don’t get it twisted I am a former soldier who has been in combat in Iraq, retired at a young age and back in the war zone supporting our “War Fighters” so this is what I do. Wow, sending a photo to my country’s paper is causing quite a ruckus, but at the end of the day everyone has their opinion and it is their right to say what ever they please factual or not. Hopefully, you will get to do what you do, hopefully but most likely not. Good luck and remember in our Military, contractors do all the Base support for the troops so I would gladly run the operations to make sure my fellow combat teams have what they need.
Those who battle ISIS are laying their lives on the line to protect us all.
Those who threaten Israel are signing their own death certificates because those who touch Israel are touching the apple of God’s eye.
Why does the devil hate Israel? Because from them came the Messiah – the Christ – the Redeemer and Saviour of all who believe in HIM of whom it is written …
“… Christ died for our sins… and that he rose again the third day.” (1 Corinthians 15:3,4)
”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.” (John 3:16,17)
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

so big deal i can name 7 Dominicans in the British army and 15 in the us army that have faced the Taliban head on. me myself having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. what happen mr just want a little bit of fame man? oh and by the way i know him and he is actually a security guard on that german camp so he is not fighting anyone
Ok,
Why are you hating man, you don’t know me you just want to get on here and say something. I am definitely not a security guard, I run the Base Transportation Operations for the Mayor Cell for your info. I was a soldier in Iraq but now a Military contractor, if you are going to talk, get your info right man. I do not need fame, I am already famous and talking about you know somebody. I hope that you are doing something constructive with yourself instead of getting on here Hating
Good Job! Just keep in mind:The ones you train will be the ones you may have to kill…
Chris,
For sure, a few has turned on us but 95% are doing the right thing to try to secure and make a better country for their families.
Thanks
Where is the picture?
Anthony Dequental if you are reading this – if ever you are going to Iraq or Syria to fight against Al Qaeda or ISIS please, please and please do not carry a Dominican passport with you!
This decision is your choice yet if you are kidnapped by ISIS in particular, they will put Dominica on their targeted list for a terrorist attack! ISIS will sent an agent to infiltrate Dominica and will perform a suicide operation! So keep a European passport and not a Dominican one please. Thanks in advance.
The 50+ Trinidadians who went to join ISIS will inform these guys where Dominica is!
I expect thumbs down and that’s fine but I advise all Dominicans do not bring a Dominican flag or documents with you stating you are from Dominica. Police in DA cannot even solve a simple crime, you all think DA can handle a suicide bomb and terrorism?
Do you all remember when that Frances girl was murdered in broad daylight at Morne Daniel? It was an overseas operation! So think seriously about…
MA,
I am proud of where I was born and that does not have anything to do with the chaos and killing that is going on in this side of the world, you’ll don’t have a clue how real this thing is but I see it first hand. Every country on earth is a target, is you are not a believer in their ideology believe me they do not care about you or me.
Thanks for your prompt response A.D. Fine you are seeing them first hand, most people in the world do not know where Dominica is, many mistake it for Dominican Republic; We prefer it so for now. Don’t want FOX, CNN and BBC to report that ISIS captured a fighter from Dominica!
Be proud of being Dominican but kindly keep our passports, flags or other documents from ISIS’s hands. If ISIS decides to launch an operation in Dominica you will be just fine in Europe or wherever you are.
And not every country on earth is a target by ISIS. ISIS according to their DABIQ magazine categorically stated which countries Muslims who believe in their ideology should launch an attack. They are North America, Europe, Australia and of course there are other places in the world. ISIS has commanded their associates to kill every non Muslim in the areas that have formed a collision to bomb them in Iraq and Syria. Dominica is not involved so kindly keep our passport out of ISIS’s hands. Thank you.
He looks like a visitor with his pass.
Kudos Admin: Now we know that ISIS nkows it has an enemy in Dominica. Silence is wisdom!
Mama,
Definitely not a visitor, I run Base Transportation Operations. Believe me they do not care where you or I are from, do you see what they are doing to their own people from the Middle East. This thing is real, mama.
I disagree with you A.D. Mama is right. You are talking about what they are “doing their own people” clearly shows you do not understand tribal life. You think every one believes in the concept of the nation state like you! You may have “fought” them but from your posts it seems you have no understanding what you are fighting.
MA,
Let me understand you and your tribal concept. So when they are killing the Jordanian, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Afghans, Christians and anyone that has a different Ideology is okay and a nation state, they are the ones invading other countries and trying to establish their own state across the Middle East. So that is ok to you, please help me understand tribal life.
Good Luck Mr. D. In my experience, we could not turn our backs on the A.N.A for fear that they could be A.Q. sympathizers and shoot us while we worked to secure their country. Hope you stay safe out there.
Sampler,
Cool, we are definitely staying focused. Been out here for 6 years but it is tough, keeping my head on a swivel.
Thats great, but please remember who ISIS is working for “Christian In Action”….. … they are doing a job for $1000us a day..
Anthony Dequentral:
Many of us in other nations are deeply concerned about the threat of Isis. They are an enemy inspired and energized by Satan and a threat to the world. Their evil deeds are cruel beyond words. I pray every day for the brave military people who are fighting this war – unique in the history of the world – that God will keep them safe and give them victory.
May I encourage you to take a Bible with you? Please read it. Let the God of the Bible be your guide and your refuge. Please read Romans 5:6-8, St. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8,9, 1 John 5:11,12, and Revelation 3:20.
Thank you for serving!
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
Sir,
I appreciate you, most people do not have clue how serious this threat is. Especially for the Christians of the world, this is do or die. We will do all we can to try to make sure it gets contained, thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
I will definitely read all the verses you have quoted, God blesses us all.
Representing, World Wide, God speed, our prayers are with you and your family.
Pablo, appreciate you.
We definitely need God’s protection over here because it is tough, but we will do our best.
