You and others can paint those fighting for Assad, ISIS and Al Nusra as noble people who didn't abandon their country, but . . . .

something in this case being genocide, but at least it's better than packing up your family and leaving.

Kings 20:11

I have provided an alternative to fighting and still being able to serve your country and countrymen in time of conflict; however, the T-Shirt does not have an answer for this, so you all reply with the non-germane point of killing folk. Frankly because that is all you got. A liberal sure does like attaching names to folks: homophobe, racist, xenophobe, sexist, bigot. ect...and really doesn't need must substance to back their label; however, suggest an able-bodied man that abandons his country and countrymen in time of conflict is a coward. and boy do they get riled up.
