Makes sense. Why waste the resources on a terror attack when you can instead merely threaten one and maybe achieve the same desired results: Get your enemy to crack down on people you've identified as potential allies without lifting a finger.

I can kinda see the logic behind it. Small town America, you're not safe either, etc.

That's what people have been saying since 9/11, "If I were a terrorist, I'd hit the Polecat County Squash Festival to show that anyone can be a target."
But really, if a group actually gets the manpower, equipment, and planning to make a major hit they're not going to waste it on 5 people in a state that most Americans forgot existed. Maximum casualties, maximum exposure. And it's not like the people of Polecat County don't currently think that Al Qaeda, ISIS, Iran, and Saddam Hussein are planning to bomb them anyway.

In my opinion, this is connected with ISIS taking responsibility for the Texas fiasco. They're currently incapable of mounting any major operations in the US so they yell BOO a lot and hope we panic.

I mean, for pete's sake this is how they "hacked" the internet to get that list of military personnel targets:

I figured take down Orland Park because it's packed to the gills with snooty white people and has a huge ugly shopping mall. Maybe ISIS hates the traffic on LaGrange as much as I do. :jihad:

Why won't they pull a Washington sniper? Terrorize wal mart parking lots. Drive away and hit other random towns with several teams across the country. That will cause more panic. Not knowing when they will hit next.

gently caress you man. The great metropolitan area of Merrit Island is on that list.



Which is great since they have to pass Patrick AFB to get to and miss Cape Canaveral Air Station, a Coast Guard dock (might not be there anymore but I think it is) and the Kennedy Space Center. All three which boarder the north end of MI.

Oh and that cruise terminal thing that is like... One of the most trafficked in the states...


Do they make decisions based on drunken dart nights? Because at least the :ussr: knew to take out the cape.

Here's there Florida list:
Merritt Island, Palm Coast, Saint John, Middleburg, Saint Augustine

Merritt Island is near Cape Canaveral/Patrick AFB, so I kind of understand that one.

Palm Coast, St Johns, and Middleburg are outside of Jacksonville, but a long way from the naval station. The latter two are podunk towns somewhat close to the St Johns River.

St. Augustine is likewise near but not in Jax. The old section has some great restaurants and bed & breakfasts. No military value.

Basically, ISIS is just trolling rednecks and beach bums.

ISIS has apparently released a list of the US cities it's intending to destroy.

I don't know why Newbury Park is on the list. If they're willing to drive 45 minutes south they can hit Los Angeles. It's not even the host to any military bases. Those would be NBVC Port Hueneme and NBVC Point Magu. And a Coast Guard station in Oxnard.

Frankly I feel insulted.

It's worse than that, at least the bands have personnel whose actual job it is to be a musician, even if that job is a complete waste of the taxpayer's dollar in most instances. So when we look at the books there's an honest accounting of x personnel have a musician MOS/AFSC (who should be at the top of every single RIF board).

loving TiB isn't an actual unit, they pull personnel from other career fields who then go galavanting around the world for a year while the rest of their career field picks up the slack. So when we look at the books there's a 35 person hole across the entire USAF where those people are on the books in whatever their AFSC is but in reality they're busy prancing around on stage pretending to be a cut-rate version of glee instead of doing their loving job.

Also lol at them being their own roadies. Tell that to the legions of airmen who have been voluntold to help with set up for yet another pointless performance from those wastes of space.
