Should We Watch the ISIS Video of the Jordanian Pilot?

I feel to Service Members It makes us Ready to fight the Evil that has become and continues but the Civilian Sector will only be for most part afraid of ISIS, side note* to all Retired/Veterans and Service Members don't watch it at 1 AM in the morning before going to bed not the best idea.

It amazes me that some legitamate companies can spend millions of dollars for a 1 minute television commercial to promote their agenda, but terrorist groups and organizations like ISIS get 24 hour coverage on the news networks for free (promoting their agenda). Just my thoughts.

Some 20 million veterans in the US, who do you think will fight the guerrilla war once they reach US soil and begin terrorizing main street USA? We will, along with 17 million avid hunters a few million police officers and of course active duty, guard and reservists. It's important to know what we are up against when dealing with with them.

There is nothing complicated with this issue. ISIS does not understand us as we do not understand them and their methods of war or of terror. They mistake us for a weak nation lacking in moral strength or force of character. That we as a nation and a people would run or bend at our knees to their will. This will not happen. And at the same we don't understand their will to fight on with all the blow's the air strike's are giving them, the hard ground fighting still going on in the area. And they will not bend at the knees to Westerners. An old saying comes to mind, "Don't look back in anger, or ahead in fear but around you in awareness."

In my humble (although becoming less and less so all the time) opinion, this should be required viewing. Of course, I'm not going to make anybody watch it, but seeing the act lends a context and gives a weight to the barbarism occurring that is otherwise absent.

I watched it. Was I horrified? Certainly not to the extent I was expecting, watching a man burned to death. Instead, I feel galvanized, steeled against the brutality in the video and more resolute than ever to defeat the threat of radical Islam. Will everybody share my view? Assuredly not. But I think those that decry it as "spreading propaganda" need to reexamine their motives and possibly get over their squeamishness. As an American, I think it does serve somewhat as a propaganda tool, but perhaps not in the way the publishers intended. As with the video of the WTC towers collapsing, I think this and the other videos could be a rallying point to denounce their acts and finally force us into action. Maybe we should see if that's the case.

It shows how Isis is at there core

Perhaps we should bring back napalm...

It is important to be able to see it. However, I think sharing still images is just enough to showcase the horrors of it. I'll do everything I can to protect my daughter from the evil of the world for as long as I can so that she understands the pieces that are good in the world, and that there is some good left in some people. My views are relatively jaded from 15 years in the medical field and the things that shock me are very rapidly diminishing. I've seen death and the mourning of families...even though I am not a combat vet. The graphic violence that ISIS endorses is disturbing, but I would rather see them annihilated than take a knee to a bunch of animals.

I don't want my family seeing all of that. Let them grow up to understand that evil exists and it is the jobs of our fighting men to go off and do the "unspeakable truths" that are necessary to protect a free society. Not everyone is mentally equipped to handle the harsh realities of the world outside of the United States and some of the developed nations, and that is a good thing...otherwise such behavior could easily become acceptable here in our own borders.

I watched the video because I believe in the Geneva Convention, the Law of War, tolerance and the Golden Rule. I need to remember that the current enemies of the United States do not obey or recognize those rules. I recall how in Iraq my 11Bs took away my medical aid bag an geared me up as an 11 series soldier precisely because the Islamic radicals were targeting and sniping for medical personnel first in order to inflict the maximum damage upon the unit; an act in total violation of the Rules of Law of which they refused to recognize. I will continue to take the higher ground understanding that under no circumstances should we expect that same tolerance and respect and should prepare myself accordingly. Awareness of reality is not buying into their propaganda but recognizing the terrain we are operating in.

To judge whether I believe its real or not, I watched it. The studio like productions mean it could easily be faked. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
