I see it quite clearly
You get told about Assad killing children and using chemical weapons, and want to do something about it. Unlike most emotive conflicts in far away places, this one has a rebel army that is open to outsiders and foreigners joining the fight so long as they are muslims.
Once you are out there feeling like a proper big man with an AK47 in your hands, you start getting into the madness and become more and more mental.
Well that's what happened to me anyhow.

I should really stop watching these beheading videos, they just make me feel awful.

Remember not that long ago (a few months really)
our government and the US were about to ally with these people and give them weapons.

No they weren't
That's precisely why they didn't get involved in Syria.
Syrian government - bad m'kay
Syrian rebels - some good, some bad
Makes it fucking tricky to help anyone without just making it all worse.
