Letter to the I: Luke Rutter Letter

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Luke Rutter who died in action fighting with the Kurdish YPG to liberate Raqqa of the Islamic State (IS).  I think it is about time that the government gives anti-IS fighters like Mr Rutter the respect they deserve.  There is simply no moral equivalence between those fighting for IS and those fighting against it.  While the former fight to take away life and freedom the latter fight to preserve both.  And yet thus far the government has treated anti-IS fighters like terrorists even though they are fighting the same enemy.
