Is that that crazy science nut on the left? I know the nut in the middle. And who is the dude on the right?

My dad crewed bombers in S. England before Normandy.

He said Cherbourg (small peninsular mass extending into the E. Chanel) was surrounded and cut off. The allies didn't want to back track for it ... so they just bypassed it.

After bombing runs, some Crews returning to bases in S. England had stuff hung-up in the bomb bay or had unused stuff, they'd try to jettison it flying over Cherbourg or in the Chanel, rather than risk landing with it on borad.

Social media is how ISIS recruits.

Sure but trained and authorized recruiters are not going put pictures of their secret headquarters on Facebook.

An untrained Facebooker with a smart phone may even leave his GPS enabled.

That would permit a GPS guided smart bomb to detonate within inches of where that Facebook post was made.

The smart thing (extreme) would be to confiscate every cellphone from their soldiers. Not as smart (or extreme) is to go from soldier to soldier and disable the GPS on each phone. Then make it clear that anyone using social media or enabling GPS on their phone will face severe punishment. Also make it clear that spot checks of phones will be coming.

If they want individual soldiers to recruit they should have it done under the watchful eye of trained individuals.

Of course any ISIS member should disregard everything I say because I am a Kafir.

IIRC, that's what knocked out Glenn Miller's plane.

According to popular theory. We'll never know for certain.

One of the theories on the loss of Glen Miller was that his plane was off course, and flew into a designated bomb drop area of the Channel at the wrong time.

I've seen one combat film of a heavy bomber having its stabilizer destroyed by a bomb from the high flight.

It nose-dived out of camera view. I doubt anybody got out.

...OR this is all BS, no ISIS Headquarters were hit. Just more smoke and mirrors from this Administration.

I can buy that scenario also. It is not a coincidence that this story was released a couple of days after it was reported that American pilots were being refused permission to attack ISIS targets.

In a very real story that we assure you did not originate from The Onion, a terrorist from ISIS recently took a selfie of himself and posted it online... U.S. Intelligence... managed to pinpoint an ISIS headquarters building in Syria by using the selfie photo as a reference point.
Obviously we need an ad campaign to encourage these selfies -- #1, remind them that martyrdom is their true objective, and #2, taunt them as cross-dressing cowards if they fail to do it.

Moron allies tell ISIS what to be careful not to do in the future

Implied narrative. Fine. Keep it ‘over there’. And ship back all non citizen Muzzies.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

You’re right but this isn’t 1945.
