  • BIRMINGHAM, AL – FEBRUARY 1, 2019:  Warren “Azad” Stoddard, 24, rests at his girlfriend's apartment one week after returning from Syria, where he was injured fighting ISIS as a volunteer alongside Kurdish YPG forces. CREDIT: Bob Miller for The New York Times<br />
<br />
In the war against ISIS, American volunteers have joined the ranks of a Syrian militia, operating independently of the United States. Until recently, the predominantly Kurdish YPG forces had enjoyed air and ground support from the United States, but now that US is officially leaving, the remaining American volunteers face uncertain odds. <br />
<br />
Warren Stoddard, 24, comes from a long line of military veterans and active service members. So when a knee injury prevented him from enlisting in the Marines in 2016, he reached out to a YPG liaison on Facebook to declare his interest in volunteering. “I always wanted to serve, to do something worthwhile and to take part in some historical event,” Stoddard said. “And I cared about the Kurdish cause.” Two years later, as the Turkish invasion placed added pressure on the predominantly Kurdish YPG, Stoddard finally received an invitation to join and purchased his own one way ticket. Six months later, while engaging an ISIS stronghold alongside his YPG unit, Stoddard caught bullet fragments in his his upper thigh and foot, where a small fragment is still lodged.

In the war against ISIS, American volunteers have joined the ranks of a Syrian militia, operating independently of the United States. Until recently, the predominantly Kurdish YPG forces had enjoyed air and ground support from the United States, but now that US is officially leaving, the remaining American volunteers face uncertain odds. <br />
<br />
Warren Stoddard, 24, comes from a long line of military veterans and active service members. So when a knee injury prevented him from enlisting in the Marines in 2016, he reached out to a YPG liaison on Facebook to declare his interest in volunteering. “I always wanted to serve, to do something worthwhile and to take part in some historical event,” Stoddard said. “And I cared about the Kurdish cause.” Two years later, as the Turkish invasion placed added pressure on the predominantly Kurdish YPG, Stoddard finally received an invitation to join and purchased his own one way ticket. Six months later, while engaging an ISIS stronghold alongside his YPG unit, Stoddard caught bullet fragments in his his upper thigh and foot, where a small fragment is still lodged.

Zonicle, 23, graduated from Oakwood University in May 2014 with a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, but good grades and a successful internship were not enough to help him land him a job in his field upon graduation. The recent unemployment rate among college graduates between 22 and 27 years old is rising much higher for African Americans than for their caucasian peers. In 2013, the jobless rate among blacks was 12.4 percent, compared to 4.9 percent among whites. "It's been difficult," Zonicle said, who has applied for at least 25 job openings in his field of healthcare finance or operations.
