Lets hope all 150 were handcuffed together several days prior to deliverance to 72 cupcakes in the sky.

By any means possible,

Ahem, By all means.

I am curious about methods, but would hope to know that DoD has unleashed some new methods.

We don’t get those live leak videos of our troops blowing the hell out of the terrorists like we used to on here. Those always make my day.

Thank you, President Donald J. Trump and SecDef James “Mad Dog” Mattis: you have both reinforced what the Good Book says:

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

Except that you accelerated the process a bit with these folks. :>) Mazel Tov!!!
