I'm sure that this teenager is a good representative for all millennials.

What's wrong with people?! Haters gonna hate, I guess.
She ran away from home to join. I never said she ran off to marry a smelly goat molester. Don't read into what's not there.

Libs always label anyone who disagrees with their brainwashed opinions as "haters." LOL. You guys should get a life.

You obviously never had a teenager. It's not about free will. It's all about hormones and emotions to the third degree and beyond. Mine were somewhat predictable and for the most part well balanced which considering some of their friends was not the rule. Believe me though, there was drama aplenty.
What this girl did is not surprising at all to me.

She didn't run away from home. She was lured to ISIS territory.

According to the article she was part of the ISIS "morals police" who walked around insuring the local population of women followed the ISIS dictated dress code. I suspect any who refused were in major hot water. Gotta wonder how many locals suffered because of her. No, she shouldn't be just given a pass.

No, you only quoted a passage that said she ran away from home to join, and....


So, you quoted that passage just randomly, for kicks, not that it had any relevance to your view, or anything....?

She had the wherewithal to create training videos ...
I've little doubt that she carries regret. How convenient..

While her dad has relief that she has been found...I can't imagine things are honky Dory for them. What a shadow of deception this young adult is weaving...I've no empathy for this antic...She is not a victim...She volunteered.

Exactly! Guess we should give sympathy to all the evil women that loved Hitler and Nazism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irma_Grese
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Mandl
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herta_Bothe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny-Wanda_Barkmann
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilse_Koch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrud_Scholtz-Klink
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margarete_Himmler

These were all poor wittle women that just really never understood what they were getting involved in. It's not their fault they fell for Hitler and Nazi propaganda. It's a travesty many of them and other women like them were executed. They just couldn't fully understand Nazis and what they were doing!

Don't see any 15-16 year Olds in your list of Nazis. She was a stupid girl at best and does need punishment and deprogramming, probably for quite some time. But execution is just not right for, like I said before, a child. I am not advocating she be released to live with a parent into society, that would be foolish. She needs to be locked up but not executed, that would makes us as bad as them.

My generation raised them, but it is challenging due to social media. That is a big problem for the most part.
How is it you can say how dumb old people sound lumping a group as all the same when you are sort of making the same dumb assumption lumping all of them together?
How is it you are certain the poster is an old person?
