Why do you consider him to be a mercenary?
The YPG doesn’t pay these volunteers. They foot the entire bill themselves.
I am trying to make a point here: Not every American fighting overseas is a patriot or hero.
I respect everyone that has ever worn the uniform. That is not the point.
Some people love battle. Some people love the esprit d’corps. That’s fine. I “get” that.
But they aren’t heroes just because they love it.
