    If it continues this trajectory, we will have a decent shot of getting out of this mess at minimal cost.

    But I did catch a news report a few days ago that discussed that they were fizzling, and recruits leaving because they said living the ISIS lifestyle is too hard.  Haven't read any deeper though
