Took a brief trip to North FL today...

...and had the following conversation:

Jane: I'm going to Kyrgyzstan in January.
Old Man: You in the military?
Jane: No, I teach English.
Old Man: You do that with the government?
Jane: No, I'll be working for a local school.
Old Man: Them those same Kurds who are in Iraq?
Jane: [sighs internally] No, these are a completely different group.

I may have peed in the bushes here. Just so you know.

Well, in the gentleman's defense, the modern state of Kyrgyzstan has only existed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and in that time its political relevance has been precisely zilch (unlike, say, Kurdistan).

Furthermore, old men tend to have hearing difficulties; it's possible he just misheard what you said.
