In January 2013 American women finally won the right to serve in combat. The change in the law was intended to cover women fighting FOR the United States. But three Colorado teenage girls–two sisters ages 17 and 15 (of Somali descent), and a 16-year-old friend (of Sudanese descent)—interpreted it differently. They ran away from home, and were detained in Frankfurt and sent home. The history behind this is still not clear, but one source said that they were victims of an online predator who encouraged them to travel overseas and eventually to Syria. Another source indicated that Islamic extremists have mastered social media to prey on younger and younger women with sugar-coated versions of what it is like to live under Muslim leadership, complete with promises of husbands and homes.
