He then picked up the dead man’s gun and used it to take out even more militants.

Good. Anyone who joins Islamic State (not ISIS) needs to have his head cut off, or be thrown off a building, or to be burned alive.

isn’t the term “ISIS fanatic” redundant?

I thought a dead man’s hand was black aces and black 8s?

He knows his military history.

During World War I, the entrenching spade was also pressed into service as a melee weapon. In the close confines of a trench, rifles and fixed bayonets were often too long for effective use, and entrenching tools were often used as auxiliary arms for close-quarter fighting.[8] From 1915, soldiers on both sides routinely sharpened the edges of entrenching shovels for use as weapons.

I would much rather have a WWII type entrenching tool than a bayonet.
