Ooh, I hadn't considered backlash from the other moderates. This could get fun. Which is terrible, of course.

Vocativ: IS hackers actually pretty shitty at their jobs.
Despite presenting himself as a hacker stealthily infiltrating American networks, Hussain actually had acquired at least one of his lists through an unaffiliated hacker from Kosovo named Ardit Ferizi, the FBI says. The exchange was captured entirely on a public Twitter conversation, and Ferizi was later arrested in Malaysia.
Such opsec. Much wow.

Well, at least there's another field in which they overlap.

Reminds me when the Daeshbags managed to get into Central Command's Twitter feed and started posting various pro-Daesh stuff. Much was made of this successfull infiltration into a US military computer network, and Central Command replied by pointing out that no such infiltration had happened. Daesh had gotten into Central Command's Twitter account, that thing used mainly to tell everyone when there are 5K runs scheduled or severe weather warnings.
One password change later and the gates were closed again.
The more I learn about Daesh, the more I tend to think that they are only good at fighting unarmed civilians and armies that might as well be unarmed civilians in terms of their fighting ability.
Blowout soon fellow Stalker
There's a reason you guys are using them as target practice and for testing weapons. They're not worth any serious effort.
No, the problem with the Daesh is gonna be the multi generational nation building that comes after them.
Oh really when?
And who officially governs the territory after. If they try status quo ante, they shoot themselves in the foot.

Neat. Somewhere lurking on a shelf in my apartment is a book full of military lingo for various services and even other nations.

No France? Despite the stereotype that all they do is run away, France is the second largest military power in Europe next to the UK. Discounting Russia, of course.
Its mainly there navy that is good though.

Reminds me of the Navajo code-talkers. They didn't just speak Navajo over the radio, they had code-words for everything. The Japanese once captured a Navajo soldier who wasn't a code-talker, and while he could identify it as the Navajo language, the messages made no sense to him.

Yes, but they're French.
Despite the small size of their forces, they did get very good at creating ad-hoc forces when needed.

Funny thing about the French is, in Russia they are commonly stereotyped as refined, yet upstanding soldiers. You can blame Napoleon's good reputation and our nobility's general obsession with everything French.

really? I'm surprised the man who burnt Moscow down is so popular in Russia

I remember reading Dostoevsky novels and scholarly articles on them. I did find the Russians' love for French rather odd.

Fry - Russians tend to be respectful (though not usually sympathetic) towards the people who fight them as a general rule, but Napoleon is also viewed as being particularly noble on top of being particularly badass. And besides, who hasn't burnt down Russian cities? Hell, we do it ourselves every so often.
America, ironically.
