ISIS support treasonous

On the subject of American citizens going to fight with ISIS. I remember being told when in the Navy that anyone who went to fight for a foreign nation, even if it was an ally, was to lose their citizenship.
I seem to remember that some men went to fight with the RAF before the U.S. entered World War II and had their citizenship revoked, although it was reinstated after the war.
These people are going to fight for an enemy. Not only should their visas be revoked, they should at the very least, be charged with treason.
I realize that technically we are not at war, but we are.
