-> some basic rules have to be followed if only to ensure citizenry that they are followed. I guess one of those rules could be: Don't travel overseas to participate in a war against the US government. Yes, I understand, this is a hard rule to follow, especially if you're of the rebellious bent, but comfort requires compromise.

Well, I am hardly a rebel. The rule you list is not a rule at all. I am surprised that I even have to point it out, but you do not stop being an American by traveling outside the country. Hell, you do not stop being an American even if you send money to sanctioned entities. There is a reason there is a process for those, who deviate from societal norms. It ensures people en masse do not take matters into their own hands. That process does not, or at least should not, include current regime deciding you get deaded behind closed doors. Deviation from it historically yielded very poor results. If you are not sure why that is a bad idea, and a bad omen, for a republic supposedly governed by law, I am genuinely not sure I can help. I am just sad that some people explicitly believe this.

I heard engineer_22 participates in a war against the US government. Oh wait, you'd like due process?

  The "facilities" seem to match. I think that qualifies as enough statistical evidence, no?

Also it's a hard rule to follow if you are a child. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Nawar_al-Awlaki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Nawar_al-Awlaki

  Everyone in USA knows that every child is responsible for choosing good parents.

  If this is how the USA treats its own citizens, it's scary to think about what it probably feels justified doing to foreigners.

>I guess one of those rules could be: Don't travel overseas to participate in a war against the US government. So how is this different from rules forced by ISIS?
