Law enforcement officials consider the portrayal of the war on terror as an attack on Islam to be one of the most effective messages in radicalizing young Muslims.

#6  We need to reevaluate our foreign bases based on current need and not the needs of the 50s. A big base with hospital in Perth might be more useful than bases in Germany and Europe for example.

#4  Scratch the veneer off some Muslims & you'll find a jihadi. Technique is as old as death to apostates / blasphemers / infidels / uppity wimmen / etc.

#3  There were bombings and base infil a-lot back then.

Well, it sure changes how you view your life where you live when you are Military. Civilian clothes only off base, no stickers, quiet family life off post, Rapid reaction forces and family evac plans, alert rosters, the regular.

What is different is instead of being overseas and trying to keep your identity quiet, you now do it at home.

There is surveillance on Service members abroad and apparently at home now.
