It may sound insensitive but it's their country; if they are able shouldn't they stay and fight on the side they favor. How many fighting age males fled our country during the Civil War?

But why would that stop you?

See, and I know this is hard for you to understand, but some people...even men (shocking, I know) aren't fighters.  And they would rather try and flee to stay alive and keep their family alive than risk dying against a religious nut who won't quit.

How many men didn't fight during the civil war?  Good question.  Was the civil war about trying to force a religious ideology on everyone?  Did ALL men fight?  If they didn't...did they flee?  Or did they just stay home where there was no fighting?

(Note: Go compare the size of Syria to the size of the US)

Try and think about that for a while.

(Also, luckily, once the south lost they realized the error of their ways and stopped worrying about slavery and just admitted defeat.   )
