You can try all you want to draw parallels here but you and I both know you arent being intellectually honest.....
So no, no sympathy ......You want to fight like them, you suffer the same fate
It's easy to be one to sit back and point out all that's wrong with the world without offering any real solutions, yup, fairly easy to do. You're not the only one though, I do that too sometimes myself, no shame. Let me ask you while you're active under this incarnation, When will we as a species come together and actually attempt to solve some of these issues?
If you're a young impressionable female go there, be a play thing for a few weeks, get pregnant and then whine about coming home but don't get caught or you'll get tortured then killed, If you're a young impressionable male go there and fight for their cause, then when you realize it wasn't as romantic as you fantasied then whine about coming home too, Oh and be careful trying to leave because you'll also end up on the chopping block.
Kids these days.

Close the borders because we don't have jobs for our own and to stop poking our nose in on the other side of the world and bombing populations to create more freedom fighters/ terrorists or what ever you want to call them.
Our military contractors now have us living in a prison and all in the name of profit and just like Hitler and his clan they need to be removed before taking us to war with Russia or China or Iran or India or lots more and we are all left glowing green in the dark.
We are the agressor, we have a cancer within that needs to be removed and that will involve blood in the removal process.
Tell me why don't i see many birds in the skys, bees on flowers or is it the pesticides we get to eat in our food.
Why are our seas almost empty of fish or could it be radiations and polution from oil
Why have so many people got cancer or is it the GMO's too dangerious to lable in our shops

These kids are just kids - and they're getting their information from carefully crafted propaganda designed to lure them specifically - it's pretty slick
A lot of these young people are being sold on an idea that pretty much makes it sound like they're going to work on a kibbutz. You can pretend you don't understand that if you like - it makes it easier for you to support letting them suffer the consequences of their bad judgement
I know that makes you feel better about it all - for some reason
There's a bunch of little girls and young men that are mixed up in something they don't understand. The girls will end up servicing the troops and or dead, and the boys forced to do unspeakable things
Oh!!! Those poor children!!!
Get real!!!
Islam is the religion of Peace and how dare you say that it isn't!! Where do you think that the propaganda you refer to comes from? Let them find out that their actions have consequences. That Mommy and Daddy government isn't always going to bail them out.

Who is it that's not being intellectually honest?
You want to whitewash the things we do during a war? You got a lot of stars for that post. People want to believe - with all their heart - that we don't commit crimes. That what we do we do because we have to
Well, live with your ideals and your fantasies of honor - there's no chance I'm going to affect any of that anyhow
I can't support war in any case

Your best response to all this is:
So no, no sympathy ......You want to fight like them, you suffer the same fate
They don't want to fight like them - they want to come home

I will be honest. I have no sympathy for these supposed kids. Nor do I have any for anybody who takes a "job" thinking it will be all cool and stuff without thinking it through and then whining about it later.
If these "Kids" manage to escape and return back to the UK, then they should be arrested and tried.
The bottom line is - they learned a very hard lesson in all this. Young people often commit themselves to things they can't really understand - they don't have the life experience yet
