Those prone to violence and seeing romance in a violent “revolution” for an Islamic state of global import will continue to be recruited, no matter what, I fear. These aren’t people who believe in democratic processes but in simply taking what they desire, no matter the damage to life, property or resources.

Yeah, many of them will. But if it makes a few young men think twice, makes them see ISIS as the dead end it really is, then the video is worth making.

It also serves an important purpose for the DoS in terms of the press and those who oppose ISIS. The message sent is “We’re not clueless or squeamish, we’re putting up hard-hitting stuff and working to counter the enemy’s media offensive”.
