Another guy with nothing much in life worth living for....so running off to Syria to fight some civil war makes sense. There’s probably over a thousand Americans who’ve done the trip and faced reality in the real world.

Atticus Finch said naming people after war heroes made slow drinkers out of people.
Never has a name been so misapplied.
Another Obama voter gone wrong, are the Free Syrian fighters “racist?”

McCain's cousin Kenyata McCain said she can't believe allegations that her cousin is linked to a terrorist group.
"We're from Chicago. We grew up in Minnesota. He's not a terrorist -- that's crazy," she told CNN affiliate KARE.
"His religion was very important to him, but those people -- the ISIS people -- they don't represent what my cousin's beliefs are or were at all."
Kenyata McCain wondered if her cousin may have gotten caught up in the wrong crowd.
"Why was he in Syria? ... What kind of people was he hanging around? I feel like maybe it was the people he was hanging out with because that's not who he is. He's not ISIS," she said.
I guess he just went over there to play some pick-up basketball and fell in with the wrong crowd.
Some people are comparing this to the late 30’s when Americans and other Europeans ran off to Spain to fight in the Lincoln brigades and others for the free (i.e. communist) Spainards against Franco’s fascist forces.
In some respects it’s true as you have a proxy war going on in Syria between the major players of the middle east. Just as the Spainish civil war was a proxy war. However, though the Americans that came back were sympathetic to socialist and even communist causes, none of them were looking at blowing up places in our country or carrying on the war here at home. Proof of that is none of them did. We let these American jihadis back into the states, I think we all know that bad things will follow.
Typical family member in denial. “He was such a good guy”.....
It’s never their own fault with these people. I’m sick and tired of the toddler excuses we hear from these clowns. Really....
I Shall Not Return
Waiting for the photo of this guy at age 5.
His family apparently could not spell Arthur.
Parents didn’t know how to spell “MacArthur”?
He was just turning his life around
His rap hit was just about to drop
He was a gentle person...
“”Why was he in Syria? ... What kind of people was he hanging around? I feel like maybe it was the people he was hanging out with because that’s not who he is. He’s not ISIS,” she said.”
Sorry, cuz. He’s ISIS... well, he was..
