With all the discussions about a shortage of IT talent in the near future, I wanted to draw your attention to employment/promotion opportunities inside terrorist organizations.
Just searching today I discovered:
senior al qaeda killed: 9,460,000 “hits”
senior isis killed: 5,130,000 “hits”
senior hamas killed: 922,000 “hits”
senior taliban killed: 760,000 “hits”
Of course, “hits” included duplicate stories of the same event, so don’t take those figures as representing the number of open leadership positions.
I haven’t seen any reports that take credit for killing foot soldiers and/or innocent civilians.
To any United States government employee reading this post, this is not an attempt to recruit anyone for any group or organization.
It is an attempt to highlight the absurdity of repeating the Vietnam “body count” propaganda in the guise of killing “senior officials.”
The United States has been successful at terrorizing entire populations who never know when a cruise missile, drone or other explosive will be inflicted on them. That does not equate to “killing senior officials” and as the CIA has discovered, makes the United States less secure, not more secure.
Novel suggestion: Why not fight terrorism by not engaging in terrorism?
