Because it is depressing. And yes, I was joking about the authority - I just wanted to show you that I was above the jobbee jokes tbh.
Why is it depressing? Because our government is effectively supporting these scumbags by aiding "fighters" who generally turn out in the end to be ISIS and AQ. Do you believe the bullcrap about Assad using Sarin gas, btw? The 'sources' for these claims are usually the so-called "White Helmets" who are basically a propaganda wing of AQ, and who are supported by MI6 and the CIA.
