- Define threat on our soil.
- If direct threat then yes via cyber attack and other means.
- If indirect threat then yes via lone wolf recruitment, fund raising, fighter recruitment, etc.
- After identifing the above threats (I listed just a few) then we need to do composite risk management analysis (threat, probability, severity, mitigation, assessment).
- Do we take ISIS serious? Yes. We fail to take them serious at our own peril.
- Is our Govt making us a target with a weak approach to radical Islam? Yes. We ignored Osama bin Laden in the late 1990s as he/Al Quaeda escalated their attacks outside CONUS until they were able to successfully attack us in CONUS on 9/11. Ignoring ISIS and radical Islam now is merely a continuation of the mistake we made in the late 1990s. You could call it Monday morning quarterbacking (MMQ) after 9/11 but you can not call it MMQ now. Now it is just willful denial of the obvious, looking at the world as one wants it to be rather than how it is, a drastic wrong assessment of the nature of our enemy, or a combination of all three.

Or is it willful neglect to prolong a conflict? Seems that lately many decisions are made to ensure conflict resolution never occurs. If you can keep a population in fear you can control a population...

I think talent acquisition must never be limited. There are a few niches in life that just can't be restrained in a box. Some folks are just so darn good that we'd be turning them away if we limit our human resources.

Cpl Charles Thompson We hope for the best and plan for the worst. There was another similar thread asking not whether it was a threat but how you plan for it here:

What measures are you taking in reaction to the recent ISIL threats, and the FBI bulletin (FOUO)? http://abcnews.go.com/International/isis-threat-home-fbi-warns-us-military-social/story?id=27270662 Things to consider: 1. Be informed: Read news, read the FBI Bulletin (if you look for it on official sites you can find it). 2. Remember what you learned on Deployment: head on a swivel, external focus, treat public places like you did in country:...
