[From article]
the FBI has issued an alert to local law enforcement regarding threats to the family of military, even though these incidents have gone largely unreported by mainstream media.
According to president of AMI Global Security and international security consultant Anthony Mele, this is just another tactic used by jihadists engaging soft targets:
[. . .]
This is not just a war of inflicting mass casualties; it's a religious war. They are engaging in psychological warfare to force their enemy into submission of their ideology. They are just testing the waters right now in America; we haven't seen anything yet. This is something counter-terrorism professionals have been warning against for some time.
Psychological warfare is the use of propaganda, threats, and other psychological techniques to mislead, intimidate, demoralize, and otherwise influence the thinking or behavior of an opponent. It has been used through the ages as an effective tool against the enemy, and Mele says America is not prepared for it.
While much of the Western world is beginning to see firsthand what these people are capable of, America appears to still be the ostrich with its head in the sand. We carry on business as usual, as if the world is not at war. The American people in general are not prepared in any way for what is foreseen among the intelligence community.

He believes that the most important thing every citizen should do is exercise his Second Amendment right to arm himself.
[. . .]
We can't look to our governments to protect us from immediate threats. Even local enforcement can only do so much with response times. Those who believe their local, state or federal government is going to save them, are endangering themselves and could risk their lives with that kind of thinking.
[. . .]
Other options for defense are home security and self-defense classes.
[. . .]
How many people could fathom a day where there are multiple rapes and sexual assaults on the streets of a westernized society like Germany? Who would have thought just twenty years ago that individual military family members would be targeted for kidnapping or worse?
Businesses that survive over generations do so not because they keep the same "business as usual" model. They change and adapt with the times and trends. It's time for American citizens to do the same. What worked in previous decades for security and safety no longer works for citizens in this new era of terror.
