This video is funnier than the last one. I found it on Facebook, posted yesterday on an extremist page.
We've seen him before in another YouTube video. This new video confirms that this guy is definitely not an Arabic speaker - his accent is way off. However, this video may prove that the guy is actually fighting with a brigade on the ground. Here, you can see him and his comrades riding up to what a crashed Syrian helicopter, what looks like an old Russian Hind model.
The kid is definitely having a good time. Money quotes:
"Smoke 'em!!"
"Suriya Jaysh, helicopter shot down!" (mix of Arabic and English, I personally find it hilarious)
"Every day, all day!"
What's also worth noting is that the other fighters are calling the American "Shishani," which means "Chechen" in English. He might be from a Chechen background, but I have also seen that term used to describe a generic, white, Western Muslim. Another is that he is wearing a Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, the current combat uniform worn by the United States Marine Corps. How did he get that shirt?
Check back for updates on this crazy American mujahid in Syria.
