ISIS Threatens U.S. Soldiers with information gleaned from Social Media?

A later release after this was written is the next paragraph which was found to be true after the following was written:
Later: it has  now been  revealed on NBC Nightly news that about 66 of the names and addresses were likely obtained by a page tittled DVIDS or defense video and imagery distribution system which is a website actually a part of the Pentagon I believe.  end later release after article was written.

This is one reason why I advocate not using social media like Facebook for example. For me, this is a no brainer. But, for younger generations who advocate putting basically all their information out on social media, this could be fatal for soldiers or for whole families in the future.

Barbara Starr, Pentagon reporter for CNN noted that the U.S. Government believes all information that ISIS is now posting online for people supporting ISIS to go kill U.S. soldiers and their families with came from Social Media.

I think people who put their real names and addresses and phone numbers out there on social media who are military are asking for it. And this isn't just U.S. Military this is anyone in any military or police force on earth.

The Internet goes everywhere and any information you put there can go anywhere too. So, it is important to think about this.

I think the worst problem would come from naive children and teenagers,  who are children of military personnel who might say almost anything online.

This is most likely where this information comes from. Because most adults know better than to do this if they want to stay alive who are already in the military.

In World War II the saying was, "Loose lips sink ships"

In this world it might change to: "Naive children online might get their soldier or police parents killed!"

However, there is another problem which might be even more important here:

If you thought you and your family would be murdered from being a soldier or police person would you join that army or police force?

LIkely No.

So, I think the propaganda power of this is much more worrisome than the outright potential acts.

Because even if you want to join the army or police somewhere on earth, you aren't saying, "Oh by the way, I'm okay with my wife, my children and all my relatives being killed too!"

This is the real problem of propaganda like this is if it was backed up by a few actual provable deaths worldwide.

To see this is a World War against civilization might be the most important realization everyone might need to survive this now.

Later: it has  now been  revealed on NBC Nightly news that about 66 of the names and addresses were likely obtained by a page tittled DVIDS or defense video and imagery distribution system which is a website actually a part of the Pentagon I believe.
