UNIVERSAL IDEAS Safety of US troops and their families Freedom Terrorism Social media

This is a picture of an ISIS groups.

THINGS TO CONSIDER Military members and their families should be able to live their lives like everyone else. They shouldn't have to worry about ISIS groups threatening them. They should also be able to have social media without someone getting all of their information as this group did. Also military members and their families shouldn’t be contacted. There should be more safety offered and given to military members and their families. Also they could not put their whole life or anything personal on the internet.

PROMPT The safety of military members and their families is limited. Defend, refute or qualify if you think that there should be more safety offered to the military members and their families based on all of the ISIS problems.
