Ex-US Army soldier joins 'private army' to fight against ISIS

One of three Americans fighting with Kurds in Syria identified

A Wisconsin high school graduate is reportedly in the Middle East with two other Americans, fighting ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).

Jordan Matson of Wisconsin, a former American solder, has joined the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), who are mainly battling advances by Islamic State militants close to Syria's borders with Turkey and Iraq, a spokesman for the Kurdish group said on Thursday.

YPG spokesman Redur Xelil confirmed Matson's presence with the group in an online note and said: 'He is fighting in the Jazaa area.' Jazaa is in northeast Syria and has seen heavy fighting between the YPG and fighters of Islamic State.
