ISIS Continues to Directly Threaten Military Families

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?"

"Having it director towards us, it's completely new ground," Ricketts added.

These terrorists are a bunch of cowards, hiding behind social media to make their threats.

Threatening woman and children really shows their baseless lack of humanity.

Bastards!

There has to be a way to bait the issuers of the threats into making a move so they can be eliminated with extreme prejudice. But using military families as the bait is unacceptable.

Oh and today DHS announces that Right wing terrorism is a greater threat than ISIS.

Frickin insane.

This seems to be exactly what the Commander in Chief wants.

All military families must not reveal their identities once again discouraging and demoralizing our service men.

An American loving Commander in Chief would crush these slime ball reprobate maggots but an American loathing Commander in Chief would act just as this Mooslime Brotherhood operative is. Does anyone doubt where his loyalties lie these days? The vale has been lifted and his true self has been revealed.

If we had a president who cares about the military and their families he would have put a stop to this.

This is a war zone. Why the hell are families there?

The families actually reside stateside, but one could say the U.S. has become a war zone too.

The NSA seems to be able to track every American cell phone call, email and piece of social media traffic...yet it somehow can’t pinpoint the IP address of a piece of equipment used by ISIS?

Now you understand the strategy of open borders to the Muslim-in-Chief. If you think these guys aren’t in a position to hit our military families and demoralize us that way, you may be sadly mistaken.

I suspect the øbola administration. Especially if they deny it.

It would be easy to target military families in the US, especially around some of the big bases where units are deployed. It's not hard to spot military dependents. I would think an even bigger threat would be to families at bases overseas in non-combat zones such as Germany or Italy.
