I'm been thinking on this for a few days. The latest incident with this ex-AF airman trying to train with Isis. He was caught trying to join Isis after getting out of the AF. I look at him as a trader. After all that has happened to the US and our service members fight over seas, plus the was the radical have done to civilians. Why would anyone want to go to that side and be a pawn or a trophy kill for them. He is no better then the one who ran away from his unit while in Afghanistan ( no name mentioned). Then you have cilivians here in America trying to join them, and this is happening with all races. What is really going on in there thoughts?
ISIS

People with nothing to belong to need to feel like they belong, even if it is with ISIS.
Here in Minnesota, many in the community ask why a young man (they are almost always young and male) would leave the good life that their parents have made for them to go back to Somalia and fight for Al Shabaab or one of the other factions. The recruiters that sell them on this are selling the notion that they have abandoned what they are to try to be American. This is true, in a way. We all had ancestors that left one way of life for another. The lure of both religion and nationalism is a strong combination.
