American Man Fighting for ISIS Is Killed in Syria

WASHINGTON — A 33-year-old American who was fighting for the militant group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was killed in recent days in a battle with a rival group in Syria, a senior American official said on Tuesday.

The authorities identified the man as Douglas McAuthur McCain, of San Diego. According to a human rights group that tracks the conflict in Syria, Mr. McCain was killed in a battle in Marea, a city in northern Syria near the Turkish border.

ISIS has been fighting the Free Syrian Army, a rival rebel group backed by the United States, for control of the city. There have been reports in recent days that the Free Syrian Army has seized a number of towns from ISIS and killed several dozen of its fighters, two of whom were Americans.

It doesn't matter. Either way, the Tea douchebags will complain about it.

There must be something about that surname that makes a person want to get in the middle of every foreign war they hear about.

All I could think when I saw the name is, "What can you expect of someone whose parents were so ignorant they misspelled his middle name?"
