ISIS is a threat to the global community. Invading Iraq on false pretext was different. I'm not saying that I think we should send troops to fight ISIS, but comparing the call to invade on false pretexts is different from doing so to combat a known militancy that has proven to not have any concern for human life.

More than half of millennials recently surveyed by the Harvard Institute of Politics backed sending ground troops to fight against ISIS, according to the poll’s results.
Specifically, nearly six in 10 18- to 29-year-olds – or 57 percent of those surveyed – said they support sending ground troops to fight against the latest war on terror in the Middle East, according to the poll, released Wednesday.

According to the CBS News, NOT fox news,

"Support for sending U.S. ground troops to fight ISIS has risen among all partisans, but particularly among Democrats and independents. Back in October, 56 percent of Democrats and 49 percent of independents disapproved of using ground troops - now 50 percent of Democrats approve and 53 percent of independents favor using ground troops."

What global community are they a threat to? Norwegians?

Please. If millennials feel so strongly about it, GOODBYE!

How is ISIS a direct threat to the global community but Iraq with a history of chemical weapons use and then kicking out UN inspectors is not?

Why not take off the party blinders.
