These are Kurd women. They fight side by side with their menfolk. They don't hide their faces. Kurds have women snipers.
Challenge Question: Go to this site. See if you can tell the difference between these 'Sunni' women and the 'Sunni' women of KSA and the Gulf States.

I am familiar with the Kurds and with the differences between them and the Gulf States. Saudi women are now in the military... since Feb.

'We' ... meaning the US.
from wiki:
"Iraqi Kurdistan, officially called the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (Kurdish: هه*رێمی کوردستان, translit. Herêmî Kurdistan) by the Iraqi constitution,[6][7] is an autonomous region located in northern Iraq.[8] It is frequently referred to as Southern Kurdistan (Kurdish: باشووری کوردستان, translit. Başûrê Kurdistanê), as Kurds generally consider it to be one of the four parts of Greater Kurdistan, which also includes parts of southeastern Turkey (Northern Kurdistan), northern Syria (Rojava or Western Kurdistan), and northwestern Iran (Eastern Kurdistan).[9]
The region is officially governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), with the capital being Erbil. Kurdistan is a parliamentary democracy with its own regional Parliament that consists of 111 seats.[10] Masoud Barzani, who was initially elected as president in 2005, was re-elected in 2009. In August 2013 the parliament extended his presidency for another two years. His presidency concluded on 19 August 2015 after the political parties failed to reach an agreement over extending his term.
In my opinion, we should support a 'Syrian Kurdistan' (the 'Western Kurds'), what is now the Northern Federation in Syria. Like the 'Iraqi Kurdistan' in Iraq, it would be an autonomous region but federated with Syria.
Like 'Iraqi Kurdistan', it's landlocked. It needs international support.

A lot of stupid going on in this thread. But I am amused by the thought that Iraq is a puppet of anyone or that Iraq was better off with a brutal thug at it's helm that invaded neighboring Arab and Persian nations.
But morons will be morons.

Yeah. They look very sharp in their black cow blankets. Very impressive. Can they drive cars yet?
Saudi Arabia with it's Constitution being the Koran is a backward religious state. Maybe your Crown Prince Salman can bring it into the 15th century? Who knows, anything is possible.

We're just swapping opinions, Truth Detector.
Like, my view is that Iran wants a 'Shia Cresent' to the Mediterranean Sea. They want to connect a Shia Iran and a Shia Syria through a Shia Iraq. Assad and the Russians want to crush the Northern Federation (Syrian Kurds) that are laying claim to eastern Syria (with American help). If the Americans abandon the Northern Federation, they basically hand over all of Syria to Assad and the Russians and the Iranians.
Oh yeah. Turkey, a NATO ally, also hates the Syrian Kurds and attacks them from the north. So, without American resolve, it's bad news for the Syrian Kurds and their Northern Federation.
"Democratic Federation of Northern Syria a challenge to status quo
The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria presents an alternative-- one that has survived and grown under adverse conditions. Its constitution structurally empowers women and ethnic minorities."
