'They're giving up,' said Lieutenant General Paul Funk, who commands the coalition task force fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. 'Their leaders are abandoning them.'

In uncommon scenes, large groups of militants were turning themselves over to Kurdish Peshmerga forces, in the city southwest of Kirkuk.

'The speed at which the enemy gave up surprised me,' Funk said in a phone interview from Baghdad, after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of Hawija.

Funk said about 1,000 militants surrendered in the past three or four days of fighting in Hawija. The coalition had estimated up to 1,500 militants were defending the city when the offensive began.

“US General says ISIS fighters in Iraq are giving up after not being fed or paid”

An Army marches on it’s stomach.

Why take prisoners?

They will only do it again and are guilty of war crimes.

Of the many Trump pledges, defeating ISIS was high on my list. Will the Donald get any credit? Doubt it.
God Bless our armed forces. They are the best.

Thank you Obama!

There never would have been an isis without obama.

Full scale genocide happened because of obama and he, his administration, and liberals looked the other way while the genocide was happening. obama and his administration should be put on trial for war crimes.

Remember when Obozo, his pro Isis bros in our Intel, Brennan and Clapper, and his perfumed prince and princess generals and admirals were telling us it would take decades to remove Isis from that part of the world?

It is amazing what our military does better than any military force on earth when allowed to kill and destroy our enemies, 24/7 with no sanctuaries to hide in, recover and to plot more evil.

Watch ICE do the same with removing illegals from Sanctuary states and cities. ICE will not kill the illegals, they will just arrest them and send them away.

It’s interesting. Towards the end of WW-2, those Japanese who did surrender (about 20% in Okinawa) were eager to cooperate with Americans. They were bitter towards their officers and the regime in Tokyo.

Demoralization and disillusionment have an effect.

I long for the days of “give no quarter”. Had the US military followed that directive that murderous Canadian muslim scumbag, Omar Khadr, would have fed the buzzards instead of getting a $10.5 million gift from Trudeau.

Those who fought for or supported islamic state should not be integrated back into civilized society. They should be jailed for life at hard labor. Do not try to “deradicalize” them. Won’t work. Same thing for the idiot females who went there to provide them sex.

I wonder how many will be returned to Europe for trial and a few months of imprisonment in a place that makes "Club Fed" minimum security prisons here look like Devil's Island.

There never would have been an Isis without Obama, H. Clintoon, Brennan, Clapper, his perfumed princes and princesses in charge of our military and of course his undocumented Democrats in Congress pretending to be republicans.
