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.

He won’t be missed.
I wonder if his parents were military, or just patriots. The last name was unavoidable, I understand.
Worst name since Jesse James Hollywood.
****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.****
They commit acts of terror before leaving - it’s called “Knockout”
If any fighters with ISIS who are US citizens decide to come back to the US, they should get a life sentence on a tropical isle, at the Guantanamo resort.
American in name only.
Good riddance.
“One Dead Jihadist”
...is the only good Jihadist
Wonder how many WH reps Obama’s sending to his funeral?
You lying sonofabitch - you're most concerned about returning U.S. MILITARY veterans that spent their time fighting feral muslims like this africanized American b#st#rd.........and you're own d#mn DHS reports and memorandums say so.
The veterans - that's your real enemy; not this islamisized ghetto super star.
Probably a large number.
They've always had a deep respect, they mean that most sincerely.
Disagree.
If he were a patriot, it’s an awesome name.
Who financed this D -bag?
Somebody didn’t! ;)
Didn’t do much to honor his first and middle name.
“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.”
Hmmm. John McCain does have a summer home in San Diego, and the dead jihadi does have a slight resemblance to Meghan McCain.
He was holding his gun sideways, like a gangsta.
The only good jihadist . . .
