Oh bhai, we have people joining TTP/JuA/Daesh to massacre Pakistanis at home - in mosques, markets, hotels. Compared to that, joining an organization to fight abroad probably seems less of a 'crime' to these people. Many of them might be justifying it by thinking 'I'm not fighting the Pakistani State or killing Pakistanis'.Why isn't this recruitment to terror organisations in general regarded as people trafficking or modern slavery? People are being brainwashed into fighting Iran's wars even though they are committing a crime in so doing and would rightly be arrested on return to Pakistan.
I'm making a general point about people fighting in proxy wars - they're not automatically all war criminals and rapists.You can't draw parallels between Pakistanis fighting against the Soviets in Afghanistan and these cases of daesh or Iranian proxies because support for the anti-Soviet forces was a state policy in Pakistan. We fought the Soviets as it was in our own national interests. Any Pakistani who fought in that conflict was a patriot.
The ones who run off to fight for daesh or irgc are traitors.
