Surrender or be shot in the face, senior US soldier tells ISIS
Straits Times ^ | 1/10/18 | Staff

US troops and their allies will shoot Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants in the face, beat them to death with shovels or drop bombs on them if they don't surrender, the US military's most senior enlisted member has said.

In an eyebrow-raising set of postings on social media on Tuesday, Command Sergeant Major John Troxell warned that ISIS members who refuse to quit will be dispatched with "extreme prejudice," including via a small shovel known as an entrenching tool.

"If they surrender, we will safeguard them to their detainee facility cell, provide them chow, a cot and due process," Troxell wrote on Facebook.

"HOWEVER, if they choose not to surrender, then we will kill them with extreme prejudice, whether that be through security force assistance, by dropping bombs on them, shooting them in the face, or beating them to death with our entrenching tools," he added.

That’s going old school by ‘beating them to death with entrenching tools.’

We recently had a story about a British SAS trooper who beat a jihadist to death with his e-tool, grabbed the jihadist's rifle, and killed some other jihadists with it.

Submit or Die is right out of their “holy” books, it’s a concept they are familiar with.

This is the ways wars have been fought and won for centuries.

You kill them and kill them so more.

You keep killing them until they surrender unconditionally or there are no more left to surrender.

And then there is peace.

'Murica!

Obama would have had this guy court martialed within a week.

Dick Turbin would weep openly on the Senate Floor

They have a very particular set of skills, skills they have acquired over a very long career.

Can we rub their bodies with pig fat before they are buried facing Jerusalem?

The greatest threat to ISIS followers would be that if they didn’t surrender...they will be castrated....

...with dull knives used for hog butchering.

Start with a pubic shave from a hog scraper.

They should all be battlefield casualties.

Nobody wants them in Guantanamo.
