the YPG had/has an internationalist brigade, there were quite a few leftists from around North America, Europe, and Turkey who joined the YPG, as well as some non-leftist ex-US Army types who joined the YPG so they could fight ISIS.
The YPG is also just a militia, not a professional military, I don't think military experience was a requirement to join.
