I have to think about this for a minute. You actually might be on to something.
If you think about the cost of feeding, housing, protecting all our brave troops... as they go house to house with little playing cards trying to ID these fckers who are hiding in cellars and inside couches and whatnot... it's a HUGE cost and risk.
Just buy intel and let the nerds in tampa analyze it. paper the place with guns and wanted notices and give them paradise in the USA in exchage for killing someone on the list. And you know they'll also mow down other bad guys standing in the way of those on the list.
We have these isolated, very protected 'collection centers' where you can drag in a body and collect your bounty. Maybe give them another $20k if they want to just stay. Hey, at that point, you may want to even enlist them in the Army and station them in Syria lol, they already know the land and have already done a lot to protect our interests.
bad guys ALREADY have the Ak47s, so any argument of "the bad guys will just take them and use them" is weak. They can only hold one at a time, we're not handing out grenades, etc. Let them police their own country. Dudes in ISIS will be publicly resigning and moving out of state to avoid that list. You'll have milkmen over there smoking these fools and dragging in their heads lol.
