American mercenaries in Syria can not return home, the State Department does not help them in any way, and the SDF, for which they fought, arrested them on charges of treason and arms sales to militants of the Islamic State terrorist group. Two American citizens fear that they will be landed on the border of Iraq without money and communication.
According to the Marine Corps Times, Marine veteran Kevin Howard and an American citizen and veteran of the French foreign legion Taylor Hudson, presumably, were detained in Syria after US special forces refused to help them in their attempt to return home.
Both Americans were mercenaries participating in the fighting on the side of the SDF.
