Jeremy Bender, Business Insider: 2 US veterans traveled to Syria to fight alongside the Kurds against ISIS — here's what it was like

As the battle against ISIS continues to rage, the various Kurdish militia groups have proven to be the most effective ground force at stemming the militant tide.

Two US veterans that The Journal identified who fought in Syria and returned are former Army Ranger Bruce Windorski and Marine combat veteran Jamie Lane.
