If or when we start to fight ISIS maybe along with all the other intel work,we should gather DNA, finger prints and other identifying information of dead ISIS combatants. This is not just for the leaders.
It would be an attempt to dissuade people form joining the jihad. It could boomerang and do so badly.
But if some of those rank and file jihadi were linked to atrocities in Iraq or Syria, the point could be brought up "Why do you allow your sons fight here" . Maybe they would get the hint that the communities in Iraq and Syria are not appreciating other people letting(?) their sons go on jihad and something might be done about it.
A little far fetched, but there it is.
