Ex-US soldier: Brits ready to fight IS with me in Iraq

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Stephen Nolan exclusively interviewed a former US soldier who explained why he's taken up arms against IS. Brett Royales fights for a Christian militia called Dwekh Nawsha and says he has been labelled as the "head recruiter" for Westerners looking to fight IS in Iraq. He said: "Hundreds of people are now ready to go once we give them the word to come here" and that "British, Canadian, American and Australian people" have got in contact with him. Royales also admitted that he would "gladly give my life in defence of these people here". This clip is originally from Stephen Nolan on Friday 6 March 2015
