The relentless war on the Islamic State has seen significant victory in the past few weeks, with more than 25,000 members of the terror group destroyed by Britain and their allies. The campaign has effectively cut the number of jihadi fighters in half in the Islamic State controlled areas of Iraq and Syria over the past 20 months and have eradicated numerous leaders.
Missile strikes and bombing raids have been carried out by RAF, destroying IS-held oilfields and slashing their cash flow and thus creating a 50% decrease in in pay for fighters. With 650 airstrikes carried out by the Royal Air Force, IS has been compelled to flee up to 40% of the Northern Iraq territory they once held.

Why WE are still FREE! WWII heroes! When the World needed us! Humanity was on the brink..$#%&!@*s suffered finally, thanks Dad! Your B-17 Vicious Virgin showed ’em!
The coalition hasn’t touched them. The US created ISIS and is using them as a proxy army against the Assad regime and to rally support for more spying, surveillance, and warmongering. Putin called our bluff and bombed ISIS more in two months than we did in two years. Wake up, people. Our government aren’t the good guys and they don’t care about you, me, or any other average American.
25k killed, guess its a start, not a very good one imo, since there is still conservatively estimating 299,975,000 islamic extremist still left to kill. Let that sink in before you go dancing in the streets patting yourself on the back. The struggle is real.
Ohh; if only it were true.
Kill ’em all!
You folks still believe anything the government or media puts out?
