| Three US Citizens Join Kurdish Fight Against ISIS |

| [ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] Three US citizens are fighting in Syria, the British Daily Mail reports Friday. But unlike most foreign nationals, they are fighting against - not for - jihadists. One of the Americans has been identified as Jordan Matson (28) from Racine, Wisconsin, a front man for the private Pashmerga army, the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), said Thursday. Matson is a former US Army soldier now "fighting in the Jazaa area," the front man added - an area riddled by heavy fighting between Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) and Kurdish forces in northeast Syria. The US has not blacklisted the YPG as a terrorist organization, but it does have close ties to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey, which has been blacklisted. While the over 100 Americans estimated to be fighting in Syria are mostly fighting for - not against - global jihadists, the US State Department indicated that they may not differentiate between them. "We have warned, as you know, US citizens to defer all travel to Syria," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State... said. "We recommend any US citizens remaining to depart immediately." "We also, of course, remain concerned about any citizen traveling to take part in military operations," she added. |

| #1 Well of course they will be treated differently than the jihadist. Obamas regime will make their life a living hell if they survive. While the jihadist will return too live life as usual. |
