Aye. This was never out of the question. But if you are an organization and you have a man willing to kill (believe it or not fellow Freepers- to kill another human being is an incredible hurdle for anyone to overcome) it is sensible to assign numerous missions to one who has proven his ability to carry them out.
Let's put this in practical terms. Let's say you have one hundred young men who "profess" a willingness to make the jihad. But in practical terms, they only want a little pu$$y from the local women. They talk a big line of BS and deliver little other than to go out and shoot a lot of ammo through their AKs.
But then you have a fellow who doesn't brag at all. He has never made a big impact. He isn't after women. But privately, in his own twisted thoughts, he only wants to kill. Now, he has the perfect opportunity. He goes out and does it. He demonstrates his "power" to you. He goes out and does it again. Now you are convinced. You have a willing killer. He will profess to the jihadist cause so long as this means he can kill again. Who are you going to deploy if you have a few dollars to spend in this fight?
This must be considered.
