ISIS is hoping that its lone-wolf jihadi network will take advantage of a new list of 700 US Army soldiers and kill them. The list provides the name and addresses of our soldiers:
WASHINGTON TIMES – The Islamic State is specifically targeting the U.S. Army, putting out a list of 700 soldiers the terror army wants it followers to kill.”
The Islamic State’s U.S. Army list begins with the headline, “We want them #dead. #Revenge for Muslims. kill the dogs.”
The Times reviewed the list. The soldiers are stationed at a number of different bases, including Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Fort Belvoir outside Washington, D.C. The list includes their names, addresses, phone numbers and official email addresses.
The soldiers’ professions appear to include infantry and special operations — the types of soldiers now fighting the Islamic State and training Iraqi and Syrian forces.
One of the Islamic State’s gruesome strategies is to radicalize followers from afar and convinced them to kill. Providing lists gives would-be killers an objective.
When I read a story like this, I’m always reminded that this ISIS threat only remains because our president refused to take ISIS seriously.
We could have wiped them out in 2014 when they were at their smallest. Now they are setting up strongholds in multiple countries and more and more people are dying in the name of their caliph.
