        Yeah most likely, like those people that lived in Canada or Sweden and enrolled in the middle east to fight “with” ISIS

        Turns out it was just all a scam and they were taken hostage or used as sex slaves and/or cannon fodder

          Oh boy, for Frenchmen it wasn’t a scam at all, sadly. Some of them rose to dangerous ranks.

      Or the voices in his head said they wanted. This doesn’t seem like the actions of a mentally well person.
