Good to see them defecting. True Syrian patriots should not be fighting for the Al-Assad regime but more often than not conscripts (mostly youth) have no choice.
Poorly designed ID's indeed.
It's the flag of the Ba'ath Party.

It's the Ba'ath Party's flag. The Palestinian flag is based on the flag of the Arab Revolt. Almost identical. Only the propositions are slightly different.

The Arab Revolt flag is not a Hashemite flag. It's a newly created flag based on past Pan-Arab colors.
The Pan-Arab colors are black, white, green and red. Individually, each of the four Pan-Arab colors were intended to represent a certain Arab dynasty, or era.[4] The black was the color of the banner of Muhammad and the Rashidun Caliphate; white was used by the Umayyad Caliphate; green was used by the Fatimid Caliphate; and red was the flag held by the Khawarij.[5] The four colors derived their potency from a verse by 14th century Iraqi poet Safi Al-Din Al-Hilli: « White are our acts, black our battles, green our fields, and red our swords ».[6]

P.S: The Abbasid Caliphate (longest ruling caliphate and second biggest in history after the Umayyad Caliphate) used black as their color too.
Hashemites have various symbols and used various flags throughout the time.
This is the traditional banner of Hijazi Hashemites, now also used by Jordan for obvious reasons.
In a press statement and a Facebook post, the Royal Court said the flag has been the banner of the Hashemite family for centuries. With its original dark red colour pattern, the banner was first hoisted by Al Sharif Abu Nami in 1515, and then raised by Prince Abdullah in 1920, as he led his soldiers to Maan during the Great Arab Revolt.

That specific flag is 500 years old. Other ones were used in the past as well.

I should know this history better than most.
No one really knows the US's motive for actually doing anything (maybe just trying to cover their arses + get Iraqi support), but the USAF has a very, very strict engagement policy. Kurds on the ground would rather have French or British AFs covering them, because they'll bomb just about anything they are told to (similar to most other "professional" AFs who seem to not care.) Despite all the casualties coalition has done, if USAF had not had its strict engagement policy, thousands of civilians would have died by now.That officially shows what intentions 'U.S.' led coalition has in these countries. It certainly isn't about to destroy ISIS. You (people?) are fine and happy with it.
Using Al-Masdar as a source...you must be new here.

I think 500 included Nusra in rebels in that statement, since Nusra got bombed multiple times, and even an Ahrar al Sham HQ got bombed once (mistaken identity or US just being arseholes.)how can they support rebels then bomb them and it is hard to believe that they would help assad
do you think el nusra are not extremists ?I think 500 included Nusra in rebels in that statement, since Nusra got bombed multiple times, and even an Ahrar al Sham HQ got bombed once (mistaken identity or US just being arseholes.)
I highly disagree with you on that.No one really knows the US's motive
The majority of them? No. The ones who hold an relevant power in the organization? Yes, unfortunately. It would have been better for revolution if they just left AQ and its ideology altogether.do you think el nusra are not extremists ?
I mean, they're just trying to cover their arse, I don't see any other motive for it, and that doesn't seem good enough to spend a few billion on fighting a few thousand idiots, but then again this is 'Murica we're talking about here.I highly disagree with you on that.
I am not sure misunderstood or not but cover their a*s, what for?I mean, they're just trying to cover their arse, I don't see any other motive for it, and that doesn't seem good enough to spend a few billion on fighting a few thousand idiots, but then again this is 'Murica we're talking about here.
