Wow. This is exactly what happened to a coworkers son. We Thought he was going in a mission trip to Israel. Turns out he went there and they trained him and a group of guys to be “special forces”( that’s the term he used. What 18 year old kid doesn’t want to be some kind of hero “special forces”) They sent them to Syria (long before we knew it was a thing) and killed a whole village of people. He is a complete weirdo too!
