Beyond the frontline: watching ISIS

[davidbfpo]

In August 2014 MG Nagata, Centcom SOF commander, stated 'We do not understand the movement...'. Well there is a book coming that aims to do so. The linked article gives a glimpse into ISIS:http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...raining-camps?

The article is worth reading, the sub-title is shorter:

We reveal how the terror group recruits and retains its members through zealotry, rhetoric and obscure theology

Back to MG Nagata:

We do not understand the movement, and until we do, we are not going to defeat it We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the ideaa...There is a magnetic attraction to IS that is bringing in resources, talent, weapons, etc., to thicken, harden, embolden IS in ways that are very alarming.
