As a concern citizen and veteran of the war in Iraq I find our reaction to the genocide occurring in Iraq and Syria appalling. This terrorist organization has made it abundantly clear of their intentions to attack our homeland. I fought personally against Al-Qaeda and am concerned that ISIS / ISIL is far more ruthless and already has surpassed the level Al-Qaeda operated at. I believe we as a nation should pull out any stops in going after this threat with every means available. This is not a "hearts and minds" mission we fought in the early days of the Iraqi invasion. This is saving people from genocide and a preemptive operation against the coming threat. If something powerful, organized and overwhelming is not performed soon I fear their attack will be devastating beyond 9-11.
