The Pentagon has responded to a globally-released ‘Kill List’, asking law enforcement to give extra protection for military personnel whose personal information was released,News Channel 10 reports.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the Pentagon spent the weekend notifying the soldiers who appeared on the list, and urged city police departments and military police to increase patrol in the neighborhoods where the targeted live.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) published the list days ago, a report that contained names, photos, and home addresses of U.S. Armed Forces personnel, causing alarm in cities potentially at high-risk.
According to the publication, ISIS urges followers and sympathizers in the U.S. to kill the servicemen. Specific personnel on the list are largely from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy – branches of the country’s military that have conducted massive air strikes against ISIS.
The air strikes have left ISIS mostly defenseless, killing over 8,000 fighters with attacks carried out on more than 5,000 targets. But ISIS appears to be fighting back through forms of social media.
The Pentagon says the the targeted appeared to be compiled from public sources — anything from news articles to Facebook posts that could have linked them to attacks on the terrorist group. Officials with the Pentagon say some members were incorrectly identified, but right or wrong, it’s still a threat.
Seven Texas cities were included on the list: Abilene, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Wyle, Fort Hood, Bedford, and Kileen.
Cities expected to increase in security due to the threat are below:
———–
Texas: Abilene, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Wyle, Fort Hood, Bedford, Kileen

To play*
Small town America is the real threat to Isis.
That’s right. Small town America will shoot their azzes.
AFAIK, only test silos and stuff left over from previous ICBM progams. Never was an operational ICBM base, but an AF dweeb woulld know for sure. Sure was not the couple times I visited there on business, security was no big deal.
Of course, having a few working Minuteman silos, who knows how much it would take to turn it into a functioning base? The support is all there, complete (I would guess) with all the trimmings for launch crew to practice same-same as with a real launch.
Fair enough.
I’ve been to San Ardo. It’s a podunk cow-town near King City in the Central Coast region. There’s nothing there (relatively speaking), except I remember having a very good breakfast at a local cafe.

I was wondering that, too, about the inclusion of Solvang, California, in the Santa Ynez Valley above Santa Barbara, not far from what used to be Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
I lived in Solvang for a year in the early 1990’s. I never once saw any military personnel. Plenty of tourists, though. The nearest base is Vandenberg Air Force Base in northern Santa Barbara County.
And where the hell is Manford, California? Or San Ardo, California? Never heard of either one of them.
Also, Monterey, California has one “r.” Monterrey with two “r’s” is in Mexico.
Solvang is Danish themed because it was settled by Danes back in 1911.
The businesses there attract literally bus loads of tourists.
When I lived there in the early 1990’s it was Conservative with a capital “C”.
I saw an MX missile launched from Vandenberg in the mid-late 1980’s while I was walking down a street in Santa Barbara.
I stopped dead in my tracks and watched it until it disappeared.
” Manford, California?”
Hanford?
At one time, the Air Force was planning to launch Space Shuttle flights from Vandenberg Air Force Base on classified military missions. They even built a launch pad for the shuttles, but the launches never happened.
I was wondering that, too, if they meant Hanford, California.
CARLSBAD, CA is rather close to me and mine.
I think they probably mean Wylie, which is up by DFW, IIRC. NW San Antonio near the Medical Center is overrun with Arab muzzies. And then, quite a few Somalis on top of that. Happily, our cops are well aware.
“CARLSBAD, CA is rather close to me and mine.”
Between Pendleton and Miramar. Solvang is near Vandenberg.
Did they mean WYLIE, TX? Northern burb of Dallas out in the country and small population?
I honestly don’t think they’ll want to come to small town Texas.
On rare occasions we can see the missile tracks in the sky from up here in the Bay Area. Every ten years or so, it seems.
Near as I can tell there is no Warrensburg, Maryland.
Lexington Park is where Patuxent Naval Air Station is located, so that kind of makes sense.
Upper Marlboro is the county seat of Prince George’s County so it has the Court House. Otherwise a small sleepy Southern Maryland town.
Idaho is one of the states refugees get shipped to, gotta dilute that red somehow...
