A group of veterans is taking the fight against ISIS into its own hands.
Since launching his site Veterans Against ISIS in late February, over two-dozen men from various branches and specialties have joined U.S. Army veteran Sean Rowe in his mission to assemble a first-rate military force and ship out to the Middle East to protect civilians abroad suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists.
Having witnessed their savage tactics, ruthless kidnappings, and mass beheadings, Rowe can't help but view ISIS militants as a "different breed" of fighters, like "rabid dogs that need to be put down."
"These are a different breed of guys," he said. "I look at it like, they're rabid dogs that need to be put down."
Determined to save lives abroad, Rowe told Fox News that there is no denying that innocent civilians in Iraq and Syria need help in the face of such pervasive extremism.
"I'm a well-trained veteran with the best military in the world," he said, "and there's nothing more important than helping these innocent women and children being slaughtered over there."
The eight-year Army vet said that he has "a very good idea of what we're walking into" thanks to his group's connections with locals in both Iraq and Syria.
"We have a very good idea of what we're walking into... We know it's going to be very dangerous," he conceded.
Rowe mentioned that the biggest challenge he and his team currently face is a lack of resources.
"We have most of what we need right now," he said, "but we are seeking to raise support because we can't take a lot of stuff with us."
Unless they can garner further financial support, the group will be relying on locals for food, weaponry, and medical supplies.
