Elite Army unit at Fort Meade searching for ways to fight ISIS

elite Army unit based at Fort Meade is sending battle-hardened soldiers to Iraq to get a close look at the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria so they can develop ways to fight America's newest adversary.

Lt. Col. Justin Sapp, a commander in the Asymmetric Warfare Group, describes ISIS militaries as a new kind of challenge: a force of fighters informed by a decade of war in Iraq and beyond, with legions of recruits, high-end weaponry and stable funding sources, that has proved adept at changing its strategy and tactics as it draws more attention from the United States and its allies.

"They have the benefit of years of experience and at the same time they have a lot of recruits — angry young people," Sapp said. "I don't look at them as an army, but they're certainly a serious and adaptable threat."

Bacon bullets and Kate Upton leaflets.

Next question.

Destabilize their funding sources, and kill them all. No money, no Jihad.

A couple of squadrons of A-10s would be a good start.

Why would we fight ISIS? We created them!

[Gamecock]

Why are we worried about them? I thought they we just the J.V. </sarc>

One very clever way to successfully fight ISIS would be to replace the POTUS.

Nuke it from orbit...

If we fought WWII like we have fought recently, we’d be speaking German or Japanese.

Phase 1: Frogwalk the Muslim-terrorist-in-chief out of the Whitehouse.

Phase 2: ?

Phase 3: Profit.

Thousands of Muslims coming to the US every year (maybe every month??). What is the point of fighting them there, when they are taking over our country from within.

Ban Islam in civilized countries, tear down mosques, deport Muslims, put US troops on our borders, institute a “pet the pig” requirement to board a plane or enter the US.

[lavaroise]

Indeed, going after moderate RINOs tolerating islamists in the name of moderation should be a start.

[Species8472]

A single sub full of nukes could solve the Isis problem in less than 20 minutes if we had the will to use it.

[LucyT]

Kill ‘em all, and bury them wrapped in pig-skin.

[Conservative4Ever]

Maybe they need to take a good hard look at it right here in the good old U S of A. Or let our local militias take up the task.
