Nothing to worry about, just “random” death threats.

Quote:As the Obama administration continues its sluggish bombing campaign against the Islamic State, ISIS fighters are waging a war directly on the families of U.S. military soldiers.

Last week Angela Ricketts, the wife of an active duty military officer, received a message through her author page on Facebook. At first she assumed it was an average online troll, but after further investigation discovered the message came from an ISIS account. On the same day she received the threat, four other military wives received something similar.

“I read the message and it was terrifying. It threatened my family, it threatened me, it threatened my husband, it said they knew everything about us and where we were and threatened us with Shariah law,” Ricketts said On The Record Thursday night. “This isn’t the mountains of eastern Afghanistan and Paktika province. This isn’t the desert of Iraq. This is here and this is now. This is a brand new world and how are we going to deal with it now that it’s here and these threats are directed towards us?”

Who would have ever thought service members had to think twice about wearing their uniform in public? I put it on when I get to work, not during transit. Then again I take the DC metro.

That's crazy

Just post back that some jobs will be made available soon and their killing and terror practices and jihad won't be necessary anymore. IS is going to use all methods at their disposal to spread fear, hate and propaganda. The internet is the new arena for this brand of "warfare." Obviously, this threat against military families has to be taken seriously after we've seen the resolve of IS to survive and grow.

Vietnam comes to mind. Not the same, but it did happen back then but it was Americans berating those in uniform.

Is Obama going to protect the military spouses? He could do that by eradicating ISIS.

This isn't rocket science.

When my son came home for Christmas his command changed their minds four separate times as to if they were going to be required to travel in uniform, even the morning of departure.

Makes sense, I haven't even traveled in uniform on mil flights. I'm just a regular joe when seen in public...anywhere. Truth be told, I actually don't mind it.

They eventually made them wear their ASU's home, but told them it was their option as to wear it back.

This is part of the downside of social media.

Social media is of next to no real value. It's the standing on a street corner yelling of our time.

It wasn't Americans doing the berating, it was liberals.
