Pentagon warns employees about potential Islamic State-related terror attacks
FoxNews.com ^ | October 29, 2014

The Pentagon is warning employees about being potential targets of quick-strike terror attacks -- to the extent of suggesting they change travel routes, remove identifiable logos and avoid large gatherings.

The advisory was issued by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, which protects the Pentagon and its employees, and says recent threats indicate that terrorists “directed or inspired by Islamic State” consider military and law-enforcement officers legitimate targets, as reported first by The Washington Times.

The news of the advisory follows Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announcing Tuesday that his agency has increased security at federal buildings across the country, citing terror threats and the recent attacks.

Federal Protective Service officers are providing the increased security, which Johnson said is “precautionary,” and not in response to a specific threat.

The Pentagon advisory said the potential attacks could occur with “little or no advanced warning” and that employees’ family members also could be targeted.

Among the list of 11 precautions are:

-- Don’t post anything online that links you to the Defense Department.

-- Remove decals and other identifiers from clothing and vehicles.

-- Avoid large gatherings and places where people congregate.

The "proper" response for our Military personnel to this threat is to hide and cower.

From pride and wanting revenge after 911

to supporting al Qaeda and hiding — while Americans
are terrorized by incoming EV-68, narcoterrorists,
Islamic terrorists, and ISIS.

Great work Pentagon. [/s]

... Even the Egyptian Army knew how to be an adult
and remove TERRORISTS in its midst.

The proper warning should be: "Be Armed and ready to defend yourself at all times."

Those recommended protective measures are a call to run and hide.

Have we gone from the leader of the free world to a bunch of timid, hiding, fleeing cowards?

I see something and I’m going to say something: We have to fight these Islamic nuts. Here and now. Our brief period of cowardice and weakness has to come to an end!

Lone wolves with Sudden Jihad Syndrome are among us here in America. No thanks to this regime.

Get your CCW & practice firing from your vehicle, whether moving or stopped.

One would have thought they would have being doing this since 9/11. Maybe the Pentagon has fallen into complacency like the rest of the country.

If You See Something, Say Something.

Say something and get yourself ridiculed, lose that promotion or fired and nothing will ever be done to correct whatever it was you reported.
