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.

Answer this, we are worried about what we post on Social Media but now the Army or DoD has approved the wear of the combat uniform for traveling?

Joseph, we have been wearing the uniform for travel since 1974 when I joined, I came home on leave from Afghanistan in 2005, and 2006 in uniform. My buddy travel to Australia in uniform. Many more traveled to Europe in uniform. Only exception we never traveled wearing the pickle green uniform in the 70's.

Maybe they will get confused with all the stolen valor uniform wearers out there and take them out instead

We should not run scared. That is what Terrorists want. We need to pound them more than just 7 or 8 strikes a day. We need to pound them with 100 strikes a day. We need U.S. boots on the ground to hunt them down and eliminate them. Period!

As I've said on other portions of this thread, the list is comprised primarily of pilots, although there are some bomber Combat Systems Officers and a handful of higher-ups as well. It looks like they targeted airmen associated with the B-1 and B-52 platforms, along with some joint components (again, I'm assuming pilots).

Controversy After ISIS ‘Kill List’ Leaves Off Females
Finance officer Capt. Melissa Steel's troops are supporting her bid to be added to the so-called "Kill list." In the name of equality, of course.

I think it is probably very easy for those of us who have "been there" to be quick to respond to this threat with, "COME ON DOWN, CLOWN!" Yea, it pisses me off to no end like it does most everyone else, but the reality is that IF their so-called ISIS brothers who live in America DO begin taking action, you can bet it will be in the form of something quite cowardly and will happen at a time, place, and manner in which it is least expected. The damnable truth of the matter is that there are probably several ways we could view this, one being that those Bozos are succeeding in encroaching upon some very basic freedoms which we have been taking for granted. But in the name of OPSEC, I certainly understand the measures taken regarding the social media. It is just a real shame that such measures would become necessary and must be taken. Although I possess my own personal fire arms and plenty of ammo, I don't think I'm ready to start answering the doorbell with my sidearm drawn and cocked, or to start going out to my vehicle in the driveway as though it's a movement to contact maneuver.
Perhaps if the Pentagon could glean the intel from DHS and other such agencies about the names and addresses of those in our country with ties to ISIS and publish a similar list to the American public with the statement "Take any action you deem necessary", it would be a good response to ISIS. But then again it would be silly make such intel public, wouldn't it?
So what do we do? Tough one to call. I think in this particular moment, restricting social media is too little too late because by now they already have the information and most likely have only published a small portion of it. But there is no need to give them anything more.
Recent efforts to ban certain ammo types couldn't come at a worse time, could they? Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay healthy, and keep your powder dry my friends.

I've climbed mountains, traversed valleys, waded rivers searching and fighting in Afghanistan. In Iraq I have ran the streets, kicked down doors, battled through cities and deserts against the enemy. I will enter the pits of hell to close width and destroy any and all who oppose my country or its way of life. What makes you think I would hide, in my own Homeland!?

I believe for our current Service Members of the U.S. Armed Forces should be restricted from Facebook, Twitter, and other Social Media Networks for safety purposes. We have to think about our dependents can be at risk as well, RP would be a more suitable Social Media Network for military and dependents.
