With this latest threat, how concerned should the military be about its collective presence in Social Media? Are we going to see more attention paid to social footprints and OPSEC? Are more focused sites like RP a better option than the larger FaceTwit sites?
I am curious to see what actions the commands are going to take with this threat. I invite a discussion about this.

I'm a common computer user, it is apart of my MOS, but I don't get on Youtube or Facebook. I will admit I've used Rallypoint a few times. I don't use it because I feel it is safer, but because I feel it can be more educational on a professional level for me. I can use this site as a social network site, or I can use the discussion forums as an informative tool. I understand there are pros and cons to everything, but everyone has their own opinion.

Careful because if you have a family they are the true targets, because that is what hurts the most.

Most military buddies of mine (multiple deployments all including me) reply to ISIS by simply saying, "Come get some, if you're feeling froggy!"

Sadly I think this site itself is a big risk. It would be a windfall for any ISIS creep who got access to it. I don't display my full name or picture for that reason, even though that limits its usefulness.

You're coming through loud and clear, even without last name and photo, Capt Meredith R. . I think it's best to assume that, if it's on the Internet or stored electronically (even when supposedly secure), it will at some point be public information. I don't see any harm in limiting what information you make available though, as you write, it can limit participation at times. Some are comfortable openly sharing more personal info and I hope we don't regret it someday.

To all remember that we have gadgets that helps us find the bad guys when we are deployed so the shoe is on the other foot, they are using our tactics by using the internet. food for thought what about if they are getting help from another nation.

A bigger part of this is not the fact that they made this list, but the fact that they were able to put one together utilizing Social Media. Singling out military members, regardless of what branch they are associated with or what they do in the service. Of course, my 4 year old could probably do the same thing. Hell, she cracked the password to my tablet so she could watch My Little Pony on my tablet AND my phone. But that is besides the point...haha.
I understand that the DoD HAS to put out something, to inform the service members, 'Hey, this threat is out there, so damnit, watch your effing virtual footprint'. Whether it's a "hey, do your 5's and 25's or hey, don't post that stupid shit on Facebook!" I'm okay with it. I'll read and heed. But, let's also keep in mind that we, as a nation, of not only veterans, but as American's, who abide by our constitutional rights, and acknowledge those rights, and freely express those rights, we have a lot of trust in our people, and we have a lot of trust in our ability to make sound decisions.
This list is a threat...Let's not forget that part...the fact they took the time, effort, and an educated (to there level, which is like what, as smart as your local pet store animal?) effort to put this together...can, will, and has already impacted how WE as American Veteran's will have to operate. We know...We aren't dumb...We are like...Hey! Bring it on you no good, filthy effin, waste of oxygen breathing, dirt eating scum! But...in reality, I don't want to see ANY service member actually get hurt, or even feel as if they MAY be a target or MAY be in harms way. We have families, people that love us. That's the reason we are so damn strong. FAITH.FAMILY.FREEDOM.
Let's have fun with it...but also, let's not forget how we are trained. How we are supposed to be professionals, and we are supposed to be Ambassador's to our service we represent, and we are supposed to be the disciplined example to our fellow American people, who trust us, to protect them and their families too!
I say bring it on! but, let's be ready!

When you say bring on, that applies to your family, because the targets will be what creates the most pain and impact. It is not a threat it is a tactic that they have been working on and have sent out the information for some crazy follower to do it, hoping that it will be done. It is a win win for them. The solution should be to do as the King of Jordan.

Access to information can be easily obtained through public records and now with so many sites that compile information on people, removing yourself from a social presence will not do you any good. Once again, the military is hanging out back of the bus and behind the times. Origin of the problem, national security. Internal policy to revert back to self preservation and national attention to be payed to founding ethical framework. Civilizations that succeed are civilizations with a united moral and ethical perception. Information flow is not the issue, moral relativism and multiculturalist misconceptions are.
If members of the military are worried about attacks at home, you cant fight wars abroad. attention must be payed to our national identity and those who seek to infiltrate. This is the responsibility of all citizens.

One correction Service members are hanging out the bus, within my unit we were warned about this possibility in 2008. Common sense we found our targets the same way.

Military as a whole, we were warned as well but you cant stop soldiers for conforming to the times and not hit a problem at the source. Policy takes a long time and technology moves faster. I only hope that our national security can stay with it and safeguard against events to the best of their ability.

Funny thing is I would think from an OPSEC standpoint, Facebook would be the worst site followed by Twitter. When was the last time MySpace was relevant? You Tube is a gray area. My company uses a you tube channel to put out promotional videos. I use you tube to watch videos. I can see why uploading a youtube video could be as bad for OPSEC as posting photos on Facebook. Ultimately it is the same as any other internet activity: If you don't want it to be a permanent record of an event, don't put it on the internet.
As for ISIS, I think the time has come to bomb them off the face of the planet.
