Should Veterans join the fight against ISIS on their own?

Randy Roberts a U.S. Army Specialist a veteran of two deployments (according to report) found a way to join the fight against ISIS fighting with Kurdish forces in Syria.

Roberts says, that if he had not returned to help fight ISIS he would regret it later in his life and he doesn't want to live with this regret.

He is not alone in seeking out a way to return to fight ISIS, there are many who have come before him, with him and now after him. Most of the Americans who have made found a way to join the fight have done so through internet social media sights.



Why are veteran's returning in this manner? Another source says, "For many people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as infantrymen, “their skill set was fighting and infantry,” Bonenberger said. “Then they came back [to the US] and they were qualified for very few jobs ... For those people, who felt alienated from society and didn’t have sufficient social networks there to help them back in, to reintegrate them into the civilian world, there must be – and I know because I’ve felt it myself – a powerful draw to go and use those skills that you’ve accumulated and those experiences you had overseas and the acclaim you got when you were fighting the enemy.”"
