This is when we should use Gen. John J. Pershing's idea, back in 1901 in the Philippines when taking on Islamic guerriillas.
He captured 50 "Moros"; had them dig their own graves, then had them tied to stakes. His soldiers brought in PIGS (to even touch one takes Paradise away from a Muslim!), slaughtered these, shoved the carcasses into the holes, then had his troops form a firing squad...and shot 49 of them, dumping their bodies into the swine-laden holes and burying them.
The sole survivor was given his life, and set free...knowing that he would "
tell the tale". This ended terrorism in the Philippines for 46 years, ladies and gents...I wonder how many hogs a C-7 Galaxy will carry???
BTW, Bfez...the statistics are as follows. 64 U.S. servicemen and/or women have died as a result of enemy action since 1 MAY 03...the remainder have NOT been killed, but died as a result of accidents, illness or heat. Even ONE is one too many, but...this is war. W-A-R, in capitals.
THEY won't quit...neither should we.
