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

if they are legal adults let them but also they need to understand that being an adult and making adult decisions had adult consequences then as a country we do what ever our laws allow us to do up and including revoke of citizenship and declaration as a legal combatant

I feel that if they are allowed to join ISIS, they have created for us a more target-rich environment.

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.

They could just want attention.

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.

So much to say here, but I'm working and only have a couple minutes. By the time you're 17 you understand the difference between right and wrong, NO MATTER WHAT your raising, your background, or influences. So I feel comfortable in saying that their US Citizenship should be revoked. Period.

I say let them go, their is no way that a couple of teenage girls would be able to live that life style. let them go and die over their they'd do more damage in homegrown terror attacks.

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.

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.
