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

Posted on 01/10/2018 6:15:08 PM PST by markomalley

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.

Don’t forget to sharpen all the edges of your entrentching tool. Makes it easier to use for this purpose.

Nothing like using the same agit-propaganda that ISIS used themselves on the web.

Wonderful counter intelligence operation.

The magic negro is having fits that the ROE have changed? LOL.

The caliphate is gone...and so the shilly sally of Obama the Muslim is revealed.

Why stop there? Let's get medieval on their ass. I'm talking blow torches and a pair of pliers.

What goes around comes around.

Remember when zero had the Marine hold the umbrella? In his hands that was actually a weapon. :)

Centuries? Since the beginning of warfare. I don’t often get the chance to share my view of the returning Lord of Hosts, Jesus, but suffice it to say, the enemy is completely annihilated. And it ain’t pretty, and it takes 7 months to bury the dead.

Justified wrath.

He’s just saying that in a fight our troops will use anything they have even if it’s just an entrenching tool.

Beating to death or hacking to death?

The sharpened edge converts the entrenching tool into a battle ax

New Sheriff in town, get ready to die!

What keeps you awake at night?” CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson asked Mattis. “Nothing,” a stonefaced Mattis responded. “I keep other people awake at night.”

Infamous. But I'm proud of him. He has my sympathy but he did an outstanding job, especially covering the insignia on his belt.

I was just reading an article on it and it quoted an email:

A fundraising e-mail from [Move America Forward PAC] read, “Rain: ‘Hold My Umbrella.’ Benghazi: ‘Stand Down.’

The greatest threat to ISIS followers would be that if they didn’t surrender...they will be castrated. ............................ Yeah, especially by an entrenching tool. I’m old school, I prefer the earlier model with the wood handle, and for this kind of operation, it should not be sharpened.

Looks like our military is back to the original mission: kill people and break things

Yes, it’s beyond obvious (which is why I mentioned that) that Herr Obama intended to give ISIS space to kill and destroy, minimizing the horrific threat of these savages to buy them as much time as possible, for them to kidnap, torture, maim and kill.

Godspeed to the U.S. military which does not bear the sword in vain going after these savages with extreme prejudice.

Just another one of Obama’s schemes (calling ISIS “the JV team) to cause chaos, rape, assault, bodily injury and murder across the globe. Very antichrist-like. As Jeffress’ says, he paved the way for THE Antichrist.

At a minimum...
