kill them with extreme prejudice

How is that different from killing them without extreme prejudice? Seems redundant.

Pay back for the Islamic/Muslim practice of mutilating young girls’ genitals with a piece of broken glass with no pain killers.

Barbarians like that bring on their own deaths and in the most barbaric nature available if necessary.

Die hateful Islamic scum, die.

The Fraud would have put this hero in Leavenworth for insensitivity to the enemy or something.

Um why can’t we have both options? Order doesn’t matter.

If they surrender, shoot them for cowardice.

I have a colleague that was part of the first small teams in Afghanistan. Great Guy. He worked with the locals on horseback. One telling thing he mentioned was the FEAR both the people he worked with (locals) and the enemies had of the US Soldiers. Some of them thought the US Soldiers had magic powers. A large part of this was the technology we were using. 12 Special Forces guys with laser targeting and access to missal strikes and air support brought a lot of munitions on enemies. Apparently, the locals were also very intimidated with the size, strength and stamina of the Americans. In one story, my colleague shared, they were targeting caves where Taliban were hiding (locals helped find targets). From a distance, the Americans would aim their box at the cave and the cave would blow up and the earth would shake. This was magic to them.

Point is, our enemies on the battlefield fear us. They can’t help it. Most of these 3rd world turd fighters cannot fathom the type of war America can bring. So the tough talk feeds and plays on that fear. It is as strategic as it sounds bullish. They understand the threat.

I would like to see an announcement that says, “If a terrorist or a group of terrorists enter you Mosque, you should leave. There is a good chance it is about to be blown up. There are no safe places anymore. Rules of engagement are off.”

George Patton, Chesty Puller, and Curtis LeMay are smiling down on that Command Sergeant Major right down... beaming with pride.

“I’ll tell you what war is about, you’ve got to kill people, and when you’ve killed enough they stop fighting.” General Curtis LeMay

“Killing Japanese didn’t bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you’re not a good soldier.”
General Curtis LeMay

“Start with a pubic shave from a hog scraper.”

A hog carcass is scraped after first applying a lot of very hot water.
