McCain and several other 'Americans ' mentioned .

Newsflash ! These are NOT Americans ; AINOs - Americans in name only . Anyone found to have gone to fought for islamist jihad overseas should be totally stripped of their citizenship , regardless of where they were born or parental immigrant status . They should further be denied any re-entry into the Unites States ,without exception . And if any are caught sneaking back in ; automatic life in prison , at hard labor, building our much needed southern border WALL .

Great that this guy got greased . Now get the others .

The song “Another One Bites the Dust” (queen) comes to mind every time I read one of these headlines.

The guy was already in trouble with the law in the US - he’d already been arrested about 8 times; he wasn’t over there to improve himself ..
