Yes No View Results 24 y/o John Duttenhofer, a former CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE in Colorado QUIT his job and flew to Syria to fight ISIS...but he has NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE and relied all of his shooting skills from playing CALL OF DUTY!! The hardcore video gamer flew to Syria last April to fight with the Kurdish to liberate the city from ISIS He said he played first persons hooter games on XBOX up to 13 HOURS a day and gave him an understanding of weapons and taught him basic combat skills before going to Syria as he has no experience with the military and was a still an amateur when it comes to shooting a g un. He spent 6 months fighting ISIS in the capital which was finally liberated in October He returned back to the United States 4 months after suffering the loss of his close friend, 24 y/o Jac Holmes, a British IT worker who also quit his job to fight ISIS and had no military experience Speaking for the first time, he spoke of how he spent his long days in Syria playing Dungeons and Dragons and reading and chatting with friends..but by night he went deep into the city with an AK47 alongside a sniper unit and shot at ISIS fighteers. The State Dept strongly advises against Americans travelling to Syria but there are no legal consequences to volunteering to fight ISIS with Kurdish and Syrian militias John said he relied on war re-enactment games like COD to teach him practical skills to survive and meant he was already familiar with weapons despite never firing one before going to Syria He said he was "disappointed" he DIDN'T KILL any ISIS SOLDIERS but saw his "battle buddies" fire the fatal shots..including the friend he lost.... He says "i had no guilt about it. They are a group worse than the Nazis. They want to live in the ddark ages again and i didn't want to live in a world with them" Despite the threat of death, he said he struggled with home comforts like an air conditioner and chocolate milk but now that he's home, he's back at home with his bookeeper Mom, Sherie and delivery driver dad, David who were worried sick the whole time he was there as they tried to persuade him not to go to Raqqa, an area that was regularly hit by airstrikes from the syrian government John says of the war "On one hand, i selfishly wanted to fight ISIS. On the other, i wanted to be part of something that was historical and groundbreaking. I wasn't scared of dying or anything like that" He is now back at home and is back on XBOX playing Call Of Duty once again to get his "training" enhanced..
