Perhaps the only question emerging from this profile of the first document US citizen casualty fighting for the Islamic State, whose name earlier was revealed as Douglas McAuthur McCain, is whether he and John are related.
From NBC:
The battle in itself seemed tragically normal. Two Syrian opposition groups fought and there were heavy casualties on both sides. Then victorious rebels rifled through the pockets of the dead. One contained about $800 in cash -- and an American passport.
Douglas McAuthur McCain, of San Diego, California, was killed over the weekend fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), according to the Free Syrian Army. Photos of McCain's passport and of his body -- which feature a distinctive neck tattoo -- have been seen by NBC News. According to an activist linked to the Free Syrian Army who also saw the body and travel document, McCain was among three foreign jihadis fighting with ISIS who died during the battle.
Senior administration officials told NBC News they were aware that McCain was killed in Syria, adding that they believe dozens of Americans have gone there to fight with extremist groups - including, but not limited to, ISIS.
Actually, on second thought it appears there is no relation.
The spin cycle has already been engaged: McCain may be dead, but the treat that countless others like him have returned to the US to perpetrate, gasp, acts of terrorism on US soil is very much alive:
"The threat we are most concerned about to the homeland is that of fighters like this returning to the U.S. and committing acts of terrorism," a senior administration official told NBC News.

That is the most republican sounding name, ever.
He was a typical thug.
I don’t think he’s dead enough. Give him a couple more whacks.
All muslims in the USA are potential terrorists and need to be deported or locked up, all mosques shut down.
The enemy is within and should have been dealt with domestically after 9/11
Attacks on US soil against innocent civilians by the “brothers” right around the corner
There are muslims in our current administration.
I’ll bet the boy smells pretty ripe about now.
Surely if his parents were either patriots or military they would have known that the general's name was not McAuthur.
They might have as a pun, or an homage. Like a patriotic spanish-speaking family named "Arbusto" (Bush) naming their kid "Jorge Walker Arbusto". It's not the best example, but it's all the time I will dedicate to this post at this point.
And by the way, since when does proper spelling mean anything to certain demographics when naming their kids?
Funny how the difference between “threat” and “treat” is just a lousy “h”
I only need one guess for that “?”
Just take a look at any scene from Ferguson, MO for the last couple of weeks (after dark.)
