#1 Basically, ISIS uses all of their combatants as cannon fodder.

I wonder what happened to the good old fire and maneuver/base of fire, maneuver, base of fire, maneuver etc., we were taught at Benning.

#2 ISIS uses anyone it can get its hands on, as cannon fodder. Its victims don't have to be opponents, they can just as well be IS volunteers. It operates more like a sausage grinder than anything else.

#3 Every day I read about ISIS and I'm reminded of the Dark Fantasy novel DARK CRUSADE by Karl Edward Wagner. Great book, lets just hope the bad guys don't end up with a competant general leading the rabble.

#4 Basically, ISIS uses all of their combatants as cannon fodder.

Not exactly. The "Chechens", i.e., the Russian-speakers, are based in Syria and often used as shock troops against other rebel groups, as well as enforcers attached to regular IS units. There are also other groups that are handled differently due to alliances and other considerations.
