Former Marine Infantry Officer, CEO of Lima One Capital Releases 10-Point Plan for Defeating ISIS / ISIL
GREENVILLE, S.C., March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As ISIS / ISIL gains more territorial control in the Middle East, debate grows in the U.S. over how best to combat the terrorist organization. It is clear that current U.S. policy will not achieve its stated objectives of defeating ISIS / ISIL, but few detailed plans have been proposed as alternatives. John Warren, a former infantry captain in the Marine Corps, who battled Al Qaeda in Iraq and served in much of the Middle East, has put forth the following 10-point plan to defeating ISIS / ISIL in an effort to stimulate a policy debate:
- Abandon policy of democratizing the Middle East. This policy runs contrary to U.S. national interests by creating power vacuums, enabling Islamic jihadists, and destabilizing the entire region.
- Project strong global leadership and commitment to defeating ISIS at the Executive level
- Form coalition of Arab states to provide combat troops and persuade Turkey to abandon its neutrality toward ISIS
- Provide logistical support, air support, and special forces to Arab coalition
- Expand U.S. Foreign Internal Defense (FID) Forces to help train ally military forces waging a counter-insurgency against Islamic jihadists
- Aggressively freeze terror funds
- Wage strong public relations campaign against ISIS in Middle East and Europe
- Repeal $492 billion sequestration cuts to U.S. military
- Secure national borders and perform comprehensive background checks on foreign visitors to prevent entry of jihadists
- Control federal spending, reform entitlements, and repeal damaging regulations such as limiting our oil exports
John Warren is the founder and CEO of Lima One Capital, a specialty mortgage finance company. Recognized as the Fastest Growing Company in SC, lends in 27 states and provides capital to residential real estate investors who rent or "flip" properties.
Prior to founding Lima One Capital, Warren served four years on active duty as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. In March of 2006, he deployed with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines to Ramadi, Iraq where he spent seven months conducting combat operations against insurgent forces. While deployed, he was decorated for "valor" and "heroic achievement" as he "led a counter attack against insurgents attacking Observation Post Virginia." Warren planned and led over 300 combat missions in Iraq, including the first Iraqi Police raid within the city of Ramadi.
Shortly after his return from Ramadi, Iraq, Warren participated in his second deployment to the Middle East with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. Warren left the Marine Corps with the rank of Captain. He speaks regularly on U.S. foreign policy, leadership, and entrepreneurship. He also is an active member of Business Executives for National Security (BENS) and the Republican Party. Warren holds a B.A. from Washington and Lee University and an M.B.A. from New York University's Stern School of Business.
