Full title: FORCES FACEBOOK FEAR British soldiers told to ‘scrub’ their social media pages of evidence they serve in the Army to avoid being targeted by ISIS

BRITISH soldiers have been told to “scrub” their Facebook and Twitter pages of evidence they serve to avoid being targeted by nutcase jihadists, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

Worrying new guidance was issued to troops at mega-bases in Bulford, Tidworth and Larkhill, Wiltshire, where 14,000 soldiers are garrisoned.

After a spate of terror attacks in France and Germany rocked Europe, Top Brass are determined not to see another Lee Rigby-style attack on a British hero by anyone inspired by the Munich or Nice attacks.

Troops are also warned to run in pairs off base after two Middle Eastern men armed with a blade tried to bundle an RAF airman into the back of a van in a feared abduction attempt this week.

Thanks for fighting the Muslim horde.

But since we’re losing, don’t admit publicly you’re a soldier okay?

Nothing. We are in a war and our enemies use social media as a weapon. Military and law enforcement personnel in the US should do the same thing.

Maybe someone should start 'copbook" where verified law enforcement personnel can post pictures of their kids on a site with strong encryption.

They can’t and I doubt they intend to exert much effort in trying. just the same, it puts personnel on notice that the bad guys are watching too.

How about this instead:

British soldiers told to carry sidearms at all times.

You are correct.

They, of course cannot piss off the Muslims who are the tall grass in which Jihadi Terrorists hide undisturbed.

As infidels, we are supposed to be compliant, servile and obedient conscripts to Islam. Allah be praised. May all your daughters become temporary wives for the Jihad.

Sad. The British are as proud of their military as we are of ours. This is an admission of failure to secure their homeland.

I don’t understand liberals. When it comes to dealing with street violence, they insist that being unarmed and defenseless is how to be safe. They push for more gun free zones despite the fact they are targeting killing zones. They hate the castle doctrine and demand that home owners should retreat if home invaded. They see the moslem jihads attack and call for more immigration of those same moslems. They insist on retreat, surrender and self destruction. Now British libs are advising this because of the dangerous home conditions they created. liberalism is a suicidal, self destructive, fearful, enslaved, deadly mental disease.

So rather than Brits taking pride in their service, they must hide it so the muslims don’t get upset and target Johnny in the jihad.

Lovely.

Were they also told to hide under the bed? If not, that’s next.

I don’t understand liberals.
= = =

It is because the issues are too complex for one such as you or me.

Only they are smart and educated enough to figure things out and provide solutions.

End of /s

Now in truth, you can’t understand liberals. They are Insane. They are Demonic, blinded from Truth.

They even have to constantly convince themselves that they are the smart ones with solutions.

(And all the problems are Bush’s fault.)

Get with the program, DJ. It's called "sheltering in place" (unarmed, of course).

Finally. Over at MSNBC, ‘DNC official apologizes for sensitive email.’ (Singular). Yeah, that about sums up the facts.

Ann Barnhadt has been taunting these terrorists for years. She has dared them to come after her. The difference? She’s armed to the teeth. These sissy euroweenies gave up their right to protect themselves. No guns-no guts.
