I watched as a librarian friend from the U of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information became radicalized when he returned to Mosul, Iraq around 1985. We had to stop writing one another as it got too hard to not offend. This was during the Iran-Iraq War. He was an older family man as far as I know but wanted to go and fight. I doubt if he did though. And the library he worked at was gutted by rabid religious fanatics when they took over Mosul in 2015. Or parts of Mosul.
