RIP. A sad testament to adolescent stupidity. I'm not going to say what I think it says about raising children to believe faith is a virtue, or that clerics should be trusted at all; I don't want to be considered a fedora-style atheist.

I also don't really understand why the media is pushing these stories as if being a mercenary is a crazy novel activity that nobody did until ISIS came along.

Why do girls and women go for movements like these? Is roughly 40% of the population Masochistic?

Same reason any intelligent person would go and fight as a mercenary; a sense of boredom and angst - and being entranced by whatever fanciful garbage propagandists use against vulnerable youth. Everyone wants to be a heroine for their silly cause Sad
