Does fighting for an overseas militia disqualify you for military service?

There are Americans who are traveling to Syria to fight w/ the People's Protection Units(YPG).

Many are former military. I heard that it was illegal to do this, however I have not seen any American return home from fighting against ISIS with the YPG be arrested. In fact, some even go as public as talking on the news.

In many cases it boils down to if they are fighting against an 'approved' enemy.
If one wanted to get picky fighting as part of a Private security Company could be treated as the same.

You're a dummy if you think there is no consequences going to Syria to be a fighter.
