"The American" fights for Al-Qaeda

He's a U.S.-trained soldier turned Muslim warrior who moves between America and countries where the winds of the Arab spring blow, fighting alongside jihadists and America-hating terrorists while celebrating his bloody exploits on YouTube videos.
Eric Harroun, 30, grew up in Phoenix before joining the U.S. Army in 2000. Although Harroun was never deployed during his three-year hitch, he has seen plenty of combat fighting with Syrian rebels and, more recently, Jabhat al-Nusra, a group the U.S. State Department classifies as an alias for Al Qaeda in Iraq.
“I was separated in a battle and most of my group was K.I.A. and Al-Nusra picked me up,” Harroun told FoxNews.com during one of several brief interviews conducted via Skype.

Apparently he suffered severe (enough for 100% disability pay) head trauma in the Army, mayhaps the two are connected?
An interesting read because according to the neo-con narrative he is officially a "freedom fighter" now.

So since he is on the freedom fighter side, can we assume that Obama is arming him too?

What makes you think that "neo-cons" sympathize with AQ? Does this mean that the Obama regime is a bunch of "neo-cons"?

back in my day we called guys like this mercenaries. They fight for whoever pays the most or provides the largest addrenalin rush. Personnally I don't think he is right in the head. He served in the Army but never deployed. Then he thinks he knows how to fight (survive) a war. Also he has a steel plate in his head from a pickup accident.
My question is why is he receiving full disability, when he obviously can function completely.

Because he is fighting to "liberate" Syria from the evil Assad. That makes him a good guy in the simplistic neo-con dualistic universe no?
