How do you feel about young Americans deciding to join/support ISIS?

SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:04:16 -0400

Recently, 3 girls from Denver (14, 15, and 17) decided they wanted to join ISIS and were caught after flying to Germany while on their way to Turkey. In September, several college students signed a petition to urge President Obama to support ISIS. In my opinion, I think everyone involved are highly uneducated and we as Americans have also failed to instill pride in our own country if they feel they need to support a group like ISIS in order to gain comradery (which is what some believe). However, I also think that if they do manage to give support or join ISIS, they should have to live with their mistake and not get any help from the US Government.

Three teenage girls who set out from a Denver suburb apparently bound for Syria to join extremists are back home after their parents alerted authorities.

At the age of 10, I may be able to be convinced that you really don't get it.
At the age of 12, I may be able to be convinced that you don't get the philosophical differences of religions and governments.
At the age of 14, I get that you may be an idiot.
At the age of 15, it is merely a coin toss between idiocracy and genius (in some cases), but you definitely know the difference between right and wrong.
At the age of 17, you damn sure know the difference between right and wrong and you know that traveling to a foreign country and joining a group of maniacs that have sworn to murder innocents is wicked bad.

All should be punished, severely. I will leave the punishment to the judiciary, but if I had anything to say, it would be severe.

Let them go and revoke their citizenship. If they're underage, return them to their parents and try to figure out what compelled them to attempt this adventure. If they were motivated by their parents themselves, determine if there is any connection between the parents and ISIS, or any like minded organization such as Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Qaida, etc.

The hard part is figuring out the age to draw the line as to childish mistakes and (bad) adult decisions. But if they are adult enough to truly understand what they are doing, I fully support the idea of revoking citizenship and barring reentry to the United States. And if they encounter US forces on the battlefield and they are engaging in combat, nobody should whine about their age after the inevitable result of their being armed combatants.

If we want good citizens we have to offer good options. And we do, however you can't lead a horse to water. There will always be a deviant factor. If you fight against our country you should lose your citizenship and be treated as the traitor you chose to become. If you choose to fight against another country there are rules you must observe.

My opinion is make a lesson out of any who chose to side with ISIS in this country and are caught. Tie them up to some poles, gather all the surviving vets from all the wars this country has fought, line them up as a rifle squad, have the oldest vet take the first shot. Then the next. Then the next, all the way to the youngest. Repeat until all of the traitors are dead. Siding with the enemy is a big "fuck you" to all of our vets. This would be our way of returning the favor.

People have questioned, "how do we stop them [from joining ISIS]?"

I say, don't. Let them go. Let them deal with the consequences of their actions. Revoke their citizenship and void their passport. Bar them from boarding any vessel or aircraft destined for the U.S. or any of our allies. Rather than sending the FBI to apprehend them and bring them back to the U.S. (where they could presumably commit a domestic terrorist attack upon their release), send the FBI to conduct a full-blown investigation and charge anyone with treason who assisted the traitors in their ill-conceived quest.

We don't need them soaking up tax dollars and occupying a prison cell while they await their day in court and serve their ensuing sentence. The terrorists whom they are running to will take care of their just deserts just fine...

I see a lot of things weakening our nation:
1) Laws tying down parents hands to discipline their children
2) Patriotism isn't taught at home and in the schools
3) Everything in America is made in other countries, including getting customer service for technology
4) Children aren't taught about pride and honor to serve in our U.S. Armed Forces
5) Violence is exposed and validated in movies, television, video games, music, and so on
6) U.S is neglecting its own and supporting other countries with resources needed here
7) It is kind of difficult to teach children to be honest when some government, city, and state officials is dishonest
8) Prayer is taken out of schools
9) No guidance because of absentee fathers

The younger generation don't care about their future.

I'm not one for politics. I say you make a statement, revoke their citizenship and give them to a foreign jail in the Middle East, or to ISIS. After a year of being raped, starving, and treated like crap, they'll be like those Croatian teens and want to come back home. They will no longer be Americans, so that begging and pleading by their parents will fall on deaf ears. We are at war with terror, and they want to help the opposition. That is treason.

IMHO, if these young men and women have allowed themselves to be radicalized to the point they attempt to join a terrorist organization, then are are free to join the ranks as they deem necessary. However, since they are making a very "grown-up" decision, they also need to accept the "grown-up" consequences. If they join the fight against us or our allies, they should be treated as enemy combatants as defined by the Geneva Conventions. The ills of the society at large aside, these young adults need to understand they will be held accountable for their actions/choices. Additionally, once they attempt/are successful in joining a terrorist organization, they lose all rights to return to this country.

And I quote "Be polite. Be professional. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." -Gen Mattis. They have the freedom to do with their lives as they wish but there is a professional warrior training everyday to kill you. You may do it as a stunt or to be part of your close circle of "family". Just remember before you go to declare war. There is a Marine right now as we speak who is ready who is training. There is a Sailor training and ready. There is a Soldier who has prepared for years on end. There is an Airman who has already decided that you will die for your cause. These men and women have been paraded around and you have seen initmate moments of their lives as they have returned and left for battle. Dont be fooled by the sweetness of the moments shared. They are all trained, ready, and willing to kill you without hesitation and with indifference be it a foreigner or compatriot who has chosen to fight against them. They will not feel anything but the recoil. These men and women are the finest and deadliest military to EVER walk the face of this earth. Chose wisely your words and choices because we will give you freedom in life or death. There will be no ceremony, no remorse or celebration there will be only the smell of expended rounds and the distant thumping of the helo as they evacuate. Should you be fortunate we will bury you with your new allies but most likely there will be very little left to bury.

Where are the parents? Apparently out to lunch on what their kids are up to. Most kids don't have passports, those that do more then likely have middle/upper middle class upbringings, plus the money issue. Who leaves that kind of money laying around the house? Where are these kids visiting on the net to get interested and lured into this sort of thing and what do they think they are going to gain? Someone needs to explain to kids who might be attracted by this stuff how they are more then likely going to end up dead in a very ugly way and the reward they think they are getting is instead hell forever. Not to mention the rapes and abuse that will lead up to it. Some little white american girl would be quite a prize to abuse over there. Someone needs to explain how racist/evil these people are to anyone who even has a passing interest in being associated with this group. This is akin to joining the Nazi's in so many ways.

I say revoke their citizenship when they choose to go over there, and then just let them go. If they feel that way about something that they obviously do not properly understand then they are more than welcome to go live and work in sub human conditions with a high death rate. They'll learn, and hopefully their blogging on social media (if they can find a computer to work on) will hopefully discourage others by the deplorable conditions. The fact that three teenage girls wanted to go just surprises me (at the stupidity of their parents) as their "fighting with ISIS" will likely be for soldier relaxation. If you get my drift...

Seems pretty simple to me: let them go. But once they join a terrorist organization they are officially part of that group and therefore we should treat them like terrorists. They are no longer American citizens, bar them from ever returning to this nation even if years from now they come begging. If you decide to betray your nation and join up with the terrorists you get what you get.

The teenage years are the most ideological and impressionable. This is why the Education System should be emphasizing VALUES along with mentors and parents, especially in our Constitutional and sovereign processes. We have been teaching our children, especially through the media, how to disrespect our Nation more than value it, especially by our own National Leaders, how do we expect our children to act any better? It does not excuse this atrocious behavior but helps understand it. We are encouraging our children to show disdain for the very country they live in while encouraging to use the "rights" to exploit this contempt. It is time to teach children that Responsibility come with the right to act on something, like going to prison for this action.

We will lose credibility if we continue to be just another nation. We have to believe in our exceptionalism and rebuke politicians who went to sell us out.

Oh and 3 girls from America, yeah I'm pretty sure that ISIS will treat them with the utmost of respect. I mean just because they are making prostitutes out of the Yazidi women and girls after they kill their men doesn't mean that they would do worse to three American girls.

Unfortunately, this is not a black and white issue. Many of these cases are teens and we do not have the option of calling them traitors and proceeding. Quite often teens engage in stupid activities, grow up some more, and turn out OK. Also, were those girls American citizens or children of recent immigrants? Makes a difference doesn't it? Those that are adults, that is a different thing. College students who sign petitions should be called to account for placing their signature on a petition that calls for the recognition of support for a group that has warred against the USA. I do not know what the best or even proper action to take against such things, but keep in mind that they do have the right to petition. My question is more to the idea of asking if this is an act of treason or is it the right to petition. Sometimes things like this have to be addressed by higher authority. Free speech and press has limits....does that also apply to the right to petition?

This is not a new thing . . . Many German-Americans returned to the Fatherland in the late 1930s and joined the German army. Many stayed in America and spied. How did our country handle that, and do those rules still apply today?

If they are over 18 when they make their decision, let them live with that decision. Revoke their passport 48 hours after leaving the country. If they are kids, then we need to deal with that on a case by case basis. Some of them might have participated in actions against this country and be tried as adults. Some may have just been stupid and need a second chance.

I will also say that those Muslims in this country who do not like the consequences of criminal actions such as the Boston Bombings, can pack their bags and go back to their home countries. Zubeidat Tsarnaeva. their mother, said some awful things about the US and if she doesn't like what happened, then she can ago back to her home country where maybe she will be treated like a queen.

I agree with you. Too many Americans have bought into the propaganda that America is what's wrong with the world. And too many young people know next to nothing about world affairs.

Did these girls know anything about what their new found role with ISIS would entail? Forced rape and impregnation of future ISIS members, possible death with live exposure to Western Society....

Back to the question, I fully support any revocation of citizenry for supporters of ISIS. The organization seeks to harm any opposed and is in direct opposition for 99 percent of World Civilizations that value life.

They made their choice. Whatever the law of the land says. IF they get sent back here (doubtful), they should be tried for treason
