Michigan Guy Takes on ISIS

If you didn't see "60 Minutes" last night (March 22) you missed a shocking story about ISIS taking over small Christian villages in Iraq and forcing people to leave, convert or "face the sword". In the midst of all of this, the "60 Minutes" film crew found Brett Felton, a 28-year-old, former U.S. soldier, from Troy, Michigan - training Christians to fight ISIS. Brett was in the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2006 with the 10th Mountain Division. His parents say Brett became more religious after leaving the Army and left his "study abroad" program to go back and help the Christians of Northeast Iraq.

I know there's other "soldier wannabes" over there attempting to help out, but, it appears to me, that Brett knows what he's doing and is truly there to help. What do you think?

Here's the whole story, with video that wasn't shown on Sunday's "60 Minutes".
