The FBI and Department of Homeland Security sent out a joint bulletin on Sunday suggesting that "individuals overseas are spotting and assessing like-minded individuals who are willing and capable of conducting attacks against current and former U.S.-based members of the United States military."

U.S. military members are being told to scrub their social media accounts of any material that could make them a target for ISIS, Fox News reports.
