The ISHD said it wants 'lone wolf' attackers to go after the military members and 'kill them wherever you find them'.
One of three service members who spoke anonymously to ABC News said that it was not surprising that the extremists wanted to kill members of the US military.
'I wouldn't say I'm scared,' one said. 'It's just part of this 'new war' against an enemy with a different, more developed capability than what we've faced in the past. 
'We have to make the adjustments in order to continue to win the battles.'
ISIS claimed it hacked several military servers, databases and emails to obtain the information.
However, a defense official said that the list did not appear to be from a breach, and that the names and addresses were publicly available online. 
'We really weren't surprised because all the people I saw on that list are on a webpage some place anyways, all that information was already public,' and identified soldier told ABC.
