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.

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.

Let them go. Being in teenage girls in Syria, without even a basic grasp of the language, will be punishment enough.
