It is common knowledge among our servicemen and women in theatre regarding the jihadiislamofascistterrorists.

Not common knowledge among the rest of the world’s citizens at the mall or at the hospital or at the airport or etc., etc., etc.

This is why our troops use a few extra bullets. Otherwise the jihadiislamofascistterrorists won’t lay down for their dirt nap.

It seems plausible to me that most (all?) terrorists use drugs to work themselves up into an irrational righteous rage to fortify their suicidal attitude. A couple of interesting anecdotes from the Marines who took Fallujah:
... Gunny Hackett, the senior NCO of the platoon, and the clam hand that helped guide the enlisted men of all three squads of 1st Platoon, recalled later with amazement the enemy fire coming from the rubble: "There is no way someone could live through that. Grenades, sniper fie, nearly eight hundred rounds of small arms, and a rocket were fired - I was dumbfounded they were still alive. It was the drugs, something we didn't realize until later. We started finding cocaine and adrenaline, and we started piecing it all together, that these guys were all hopped up on drugs. Like PCP users who could survive a lot of punishment." During the course of the battle, the platoon would discover many large caches of adrenaline, cocaine, and amphetamines. Spent needles littered many of the buildings the platoon cleared. According to Conner, "The terrorists just wouldn't die unless you removed their brains from their skulls." ...

... Soyda quickly took action. "I could see him breathing. Grantham had put a bullet in his head, his brains were out on the floor. As he went for the AK, I grabbed his bayonet and put it right in the center of his chest and twisted it. A normal person would have died with a bullet hole in their head and multiple stab wounds, but he wouldn't die. I figured he was meant to live, so I pulled the weapons away from him and left." Drugs had given him superhuman ability to absorb punishment. Nearly all of the mujahideen 1st Platoon would encounter during the battle were high on a cocktail of drugs. ...
