right right one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. except in this case one group of "freedom fighters" is an internationally recognized terrorist group, and the other side isn't. if you can't see the difference between leaving to go hang out with a terrorist group and leaving to go hang out with a non-terrorist group, nobody here will be able to explain it to you. just because you chose to define it as murder doesn't mean that it is. unlawful killing (murder) is a legal term, and regardless of how you choose to define it, it doesn't change the legal definition of it, so ranting that these guys are murderers is pretty pointless, to be honest.

I think the 2 soldiers probably didnt have the backing of the UK, but most likely were not told, No. Surely they were told to strip all nationality flags, and patches. It would be a great way to get some real boots on the ground recon.They entered on their own, to fight against people already in a civil war, I guess im missing what is so wrong about that. Unless they killed women children, and men that were not apart of any ISIS or terrorist group, then that would be bad.

If anyone wants to go fight against people who breach human rights laws in barbaric ways I have no problem at all.
There's a real world out there OP, it ain't all magic n marshmallows...or maybe it is in your world.
I'd turn a blind eye to someone killing another if they had raped their child or whatever, perhaps your moral focus is superior to mine but I couldn't care less.
I don't welcome people who support rapists, murderers and other such lowlife in the UK...I do however welcome people returning to the UK who have fought rapists, murderers and other such lowlife in the world.
They may have been less than successful as Solo intimated (being from his home town) but either way their intentions explain why I'm happy to have them in the UK (free) ...they stand against rapists, murderers and other such lowlife.

Jamie Read is from my home town...Wannabe Operator, Got the Beard and everything. He lasted two weeks and came scuttling back home.
Everything was posted on Facebook, even his address. His Girlfriend was loving the attention..seemed like a great idea at the time. now he has security cameras and alarms all around the house and Armed response on speed dial...
Oh, and now his neighbours need to live with the threat of some mad jihadi's blowing up his and surrounding houses..Way to go Operator.

ter·ror
ˈterər/Submit
noun
1.
extreme fear.
I know you despise the US and hate all things American. You've made that abundantly clear through your posts. You've also made it abundantly clear that you will go all over the proverbial map to try and find a point that sticks and that you can be "right" about. Your own OP is about ex Brit military fighting against IS, and now we're talking about the US funding Israel.
This post should really be moved to the rant section, as all of your comments are just one long rant against the US, Britain, and the west in general.
I'm out

and what about the abu ghraib? care to explain yourself?
our troops did a good share of their rape and torture aswell.
but since they are the home team its fine right? all that stress of killing women and children and farmers all day to wind down at night raping and torturing prisoners.
do these guys reprsent our military as a whole?
no so why do we think isis reprsent the isalmic faith as a whole?

Please, your OP mentioned nothing about UK forces treatment of prisoners, don't change the discussion.
...and bizarre as is may sound while replying to a thread creator, how about staying on topic and sticking to the point I made without meandering off with wider political discussion regarding actions of the UK government.
Twat.

Oh deary me, you seem to be fond of attempting to portray other people in ways which their own published words do not support your portrayal.
I am happy for any private individual to help support any oppressed group in the world if the people they are fighting are some organised rapist/murderer group which I wouldn't want controlling my neighbourhood.
You apparently think differently, that is your right.
I think only a twat would think that.
Kindest regards though

its essentially the same principle, these 2 ex british soldiers took it upon themselves to enter syria to fight their own war.
if they were muslims then they would be getting a lengthy sentence now.
why 1 rule for us and 1 for them?
www.express.co.uk...
they do not represent the state so therefore what do they weish to gain other than revenge killings for the beheading of an aid worker.
its the same principle, if we actually livedby the laws of these lands then these 2 individuals should face the same charges jihdadists returning from the same areas.
they left for the same reasons to fight in that country essentially, so does this mean tht every british citizen is free to go to syria take up arms for a few months and return home with no problems?
if they had been brown i imagine this would be alot different.
