Holiday Greeting Videos still online after scrub social media warning

Are the DHS and FBI trying to protect troops or only to depress and demoralize them? Is this how the DHS can keep active duty soldiers from sending messages of Christmas hope to their families?

A Marine Mom asks Canada Free Press (CFP) this vital question: “Does it make any sense that the DHS and FBI are telling veterans, their families and active duty troops to scrub their social media sites, while Holiday Greeting YouTubes posted by the military itself are still online online after Sunday night’s warning was issued?”

“The FBI on Sunday issued the strongest warning to date about possible attacks by the ISIS terrorist group against the U.S. military inside the homeland, officials tell ABC News.

“In a joint intelligence bulletin issued overnight by the FBI with the Department of Homeland Security, officials strongly urged those who serve in uniform to scrub their social media accounts of anything that might bring unwanted attention from “violent extremists” or would help the extremists learn individual service members’ identities.

Why take the risk? The troops can send over moto-mail, regular email, or mail a card or letter.

I personally don’t think THIS particular request by DoD and DHS was meant to demoralize the troops.

Veterans, their families and active duty troops and all Americans should all bear arms openly EVERYWHERE because we are at war.

What a chikensht DHS and FBI.

When the Nazis were rounding up all the Jews in Denmark, ALL THE DANES WORE THE STAR OF DAVID>

Call up the militas and EVERYONE gets to wear a uniform.
That`s what they had in 1940, The Home Defense Guard, not part of national Guard but local uniformed militias.

That`ll scare the crap out of these ISIS SOB`s in no time flat.

They know they have let in Isis over Obama’s open border and via a Muslim immigration push and are trying to close the door after the horses are out. Isis will target military personnel and their families.

At the same time, the US military has become rabidly anti-Christian and it’s a shame Christians must wonder if the actions are for persecution and demoralization.

Suicide rates are up among the troops for a reason. It’s name is Obama. He’s dark as hell.
