Interesting read by MAJ Cooper. I know many on here will find things in this that they might not concur with - and that the details in some areas might have used some better local reference (prisons in Indonesia perhaps...) - and it does not really grasp that this is a war of many campaigns of which Iraq and Syria are now but two... and neither held operational defeats for IS... just tactical ones in their perception. More importantly - it overlooks the communications revolution that has occurred -and how just a handful of fighters can now be far more dangerous than JI ever was. But still it is worth the read.

I read the complete article.
The fighters were never radical. They followed Muhammad's orders from Su'en they learned growing up in Mosques and Madrasas.
So called de-radicalization. Good luck.
The civilian world sent me to compassion and sensitivity training three times. I learned to hide my grunt self. But, inside I will always be a squared away United States Marine that has no trouble understanding BS.
The enemy will never change, or they will become Apostates.
The south east Asian countries. What great training and hideouts for those who view you LTC as a dog and sub-human. They will grow stronger and in a few years their numbers will increase from the Mosques, Madrasas and prisons.
IMO, the political system masquerading as a religion is pure genius if something wanted the world to have chaos.
Regards Sir,

I gave a good luck to that deradicalization in this as as well. Supporters are one thing - but the hardcore jihadi.... good luck at getting up to 40 percent.... and what do you do with the other 60%......... One thing about programs - the way to judge success is if it is successful - it is easy to spot - real easy - being the jihadi would do everything they can to destroy it.
