In case you haven't already been made aware - ISIS “lone wolf” individuals or groups may target active duty, reserve, and any person who has served and displays symbols of their service.
I believe the threat is real, and even if it is being over-hyped, there is nothing bad with being alert, aware, and ready to protect yourself and your family.
In addition to physical displays of your service, we each have a social media imprint that probably informs people of our service.
I am sure most of you are reading this, hunkering down, and thinking, "BRING IT!"
I have talked with several fellow Marines, and they are more than ready to defend themselves, their families, and fellow service members. I believe them. Other people I have discussed this with, however, are thinking about this threat and re-evaluating their actions - online and offline.
Due to my military training and current affiliations, I am usually alert and aware, perhaps overly so. I don't know how to turn it off, and that is perhaps a good thing. At any rate, I am even more heightened based on this news, and I want to make sure my fellow brothers and sisters-in-arms are aware as well.
Will this news change your actions or behaviors at all? What are your thoughts regarding this threat announcement to our nation's veterans and service-members?

I'm reacting with a resounding "meh". ISIS doesn't want to fight us here...they want us to meet them in Syria to fulfill their prophecies.

I believe ISIS would love to make a big splash on our soil, but the softer targets are out here where they can pretty much roam and recruit unabated.

Check out her FOX News (and if you know how often I refer people to FIX News you'd know that that is a REALLY impressive endorsement).
BEING afraid is normal and prudent when people are actively trying to commit random murders in order to scare you into doing what they want you to do. ACTING afraid is irrational and is actually letting the sociopaths who are trying to commit random murders achieve their "goal" because you are now doing what they want you to do.

I know the threat is real, but I am not concerned. I keep my weapon in my house, and I don't have a lot of regular movements at the moment.
