Sir, I think he (or anyone else) has every right to join the fight against ISIS in a way he chooses to do. The Kurds who have been fighting against ISIS surely must be thankful for him.

Unsure. Part of me says "yes". However, another part of me screams that it is about time for that part of the world to deal w/ their own civil war.

I wouldn't have done that. Especially not have any support from my own country. Stupid decision on his part, a suicide mission.
