Simple solution to that. We take Syrian families in, train the men up in the army, while paying them the same as our troops and fly them back to Syria to fight against IS. Then when the Syrian conflict is over, we fly them all back to Syria free of charge. Gives them a bit of pride and saves risking our troops in a war that Bliar's intervention in Iraq has helped cause.
