I think execution for treason is more appropriate.

Exile is for non-capital offenses.

I don’t see the point of wasting lives, time, and money to go get them. Exterminate them from the air just like we do with their pals.

If the U.K. is going to keep these jihadists out of their country, there is no excuse for our doing the same. Even if we have to “lead from behind” the U.K.

Why would they be exiled, or released?

Why would they be set free to join America’s enemies? They are also the enemy.

Look for Americans over the next few years to do their own standing up to Islamofacists since the the current WH is not doing anything.
