Kurds bad... ISIS good

It appears that UK citizens who go to Syria to fight AGAINST the Islamic State are arrested and charged with terrorism upon their return to the UK.

UK citizens who go to fight FOR the Islamic State (and hence potentially against UK forces) are NOT arrested, and are given council houses instead.

One of my bosses' Marine shooter buddies went to fight alongside the Kurds and couldn't come back to the States and I have a cousin in my tribe who is driving a F4 against IS for Iran and he can't come back either.

I'm very sorry to hear that Piney. Why can't they come back ?

I wasn't aware they where doing anything that was actually illegal in the US ?

Dude.... you have got to, PLEASE, tell how that came about :w00t:  I mean, when you say "cousin", is that the typical use of the term, like a child of a parent's sibling?

He was the grandson of my grandpop's sister. His grandfather drove a P-51, I heard he was a good shoot but not good at dogging so was ghosted by a ME262. His father drove a F4 in Vietnam and he drove a F4 than a F-15, but Americans like to restrict us Indians on how we like to fight so Iran was looking for drivers to fight IS and after his bid was up he said screw it. Left the U.S. and never came back.

I remember a few years ago when everyone was up in arms because they believed (via the media of course) that immigrants were given cars to look for jobs.

The reality is it happened ONCE due to circumstances! So what I read I take with a pinch of salt. Having said that:

for this to happen 1 time is out of order= if true of course
