There are many brave Americans helping, most of whom were involved in Middle Eastern conflicts whilst in the army

Many had learnt to respect Kurds and admire their resolve and fairness :D

British national dies fighting ISIS in Syria

Benny thank you for the link :ymapplause:

A 22-year-old British man was killed in Syria as he fought with Kurdish forces to take a key city from ISIS control, a spokesman for the YPG said.
Syrians 'suffocated by chemical gas'

Dean Carl Evans of Reading died fighting with the People's Defense Units (YPG) on July 21, YPG spokesman Garib Haso told CNN on Tuesday.

Evans' father, Peter Evans, confirmed the death on Facebook, saying his son had "sadly lost his life ... fighting for our country."
He posted a picture of his son at a younger age in fatigues, saying he "was loved and will be missed by all his family and friends."

"I would like to say a massive big thank you to all my friends and family who sent [their] condolence for the loss of my son," he wrote, adding that Dean "would have been very proud and would have regarded you all as his brothers and sisters."
