    Facebook post written by senior enlisted U.S. military leader raises eyebrows after it instructed troops to beat ISIS fighters with a shovel if they don't surrender. http://abcn.ws/2FoRgxn pic.twitter.com/pGHWzZFYQo

        ISIS would do far far worse to a captured US soldier. Just sayin.

        Uh...he’s saying that we would fight IF THEY WERE FIGHTING as far as going hand-to-hand if needed. If they surrender, they get treated as POWs. He’s literally describing how you fight a war. How is that raising eyebrows? Even watching a movie would teach this.

        This doesn’t bother me in the slightest. These people behead and burn people and post the videos on the Internet. So let me know if you need to borrow a shovel.

        I don’t understand. Is it okay to shoot someone, throw a grenade at them but not use a shovel?

        We are at war with ISIS. Troops should do whatever is necessary to capture ISIS fighters who refuse to surrender. Period. This shouldn't raise any eye brows.

        ehh it is war and if they don't surrender then theyre enemy combatants. A shovel? These boys out there playing with missiles and guns. Kinda seems like mercy to me.

        He also said "If they surrender, we will safeguard them to their detainee facility cell, provide them chow, a cot and due process," but thanks for trying to denigrate those willing to sacrifice for this nation. #FakeNews!
