Give 'em an objective, and give them field autonomy to maintain the initiative and accomplish it? Heavens to Betsy! And it's not even the war season!!!

They don't need a chain of command. They already have all they need in the Koran.

Wish that “lone wolf” meme had never started. they all have the same goal, same objective...world caliphate. it’s in their book, their hadith, and their leaders’ words.
