I keep thinking that we're looking at this all wrong and without enough ruthlessness.

We should be trying to Trojan Horse ISIL.

They do a lot of active recruiting outside of their borders. I'm sure they don't vet them that hard, because they're basically using them as bullet shields.

How hard would it be to train people to say the right things, go over there, gather intelligence and either try to get close to the leaders to kill them, or start up an insurgency within ISIL.

And I get it, we'd be sending a lot of people to die because ISIL itself is a paranoid schizophrenic organizationally.

Or do your own version of the dirty dozen, and find the biggest killer dirt bags in all of the US prisons, and set em loose.

Ok that one is a bit of a joke.

But ISIL is unconventional, so we need to fight them unconventionally, and maybe even use their own playbook against them by using their recruiting as a weapon.
