More please.

They're not likely to have been suicide bombers. That doesn't mean dead ISIS members aren't a good thing, though.

Each of these people were individuals.

Who knows what was in the heart of any of them? Who knows what brought them to that place?

Who knows how many were medical personnel or other noncombatants?

Just pawns caught up in insanity anyway.

Nothing for any decent human being to be happy about.

ISIS and its ideology are no secret. You join, you know damn well what you're doing.

All is so simple from the wild confines of the basement.

But the propaganda on the other side of the earth is not the same as it is in the US.

If there is tea there is time. See. We can all bloviate without saying anything.

A man, thirteen, believes what he is told in religious fervor and then given a gun. You decide. Is this man told to do good things?

Now that's more like what is happening on the other side of the world where we have stationed bands of brothers to do battle.

Believe what you must. But, if you must, you must contribute.

The boy is told his people are at war.

And he joins happily.

Even in the US.

Yah, cause they died.

Since Russia took the lead in attacking ISIS, it's good to see the coalition forces have also followed suit. Unfortunately the downside is the death and destruction of civilians which arise out of such conflicts. A lot of articles appeared in the press on this towards the end of 2015, and continues periodically to this day.

Some of those "pawns" took a restaurant in Bangladesh hostage today. Fuck them and the camel they rode in on!

My thread was kinda tonge in cheek. But Jihadist medical personnel? You've got to be kidding? What would their role be? To catch the heads after they are chopped off to prevent the spreading of germs?

To dehumanize these people is understandable.

It is what those wanting to kill people they have never met do.

Buddy, they don't need my help in dehumanizing themselves!! When you deliberately target and blow up civilians, you're not human.

These people that were killed did that?

And even a suicide bomber is a human.

They have a story and some reason for their madness.

I'll wager that when terrorists kill civilians there are boosters saying "Good riddance to our enemies." as well.

And not all of these people are killing civilians.

Some are just ordinary soldiers in a war.

ISIS does not have "ordinary soldiers" or an established military. It's not like Nazi Germany where the German military long predated the Nazi regime.

And Allies would never be able to win WWII if they bellyached over every German soldier they killed. And unlike with ISIS many were conscripts or career soldiers who were not ideological Nazis (Stauffenberg et al were high ranking military officers). With ISIS all of them are radical Islamists. So again, fuck them and the 72 virgins they believe they will receive upon "martyrdom".

What are you trying to say? How should we deal with them?

They are an international problem.

A problem for the UN.

But not a problem for the SC with the contributors to the problem having a veto.
