COL Mikel J. Burroughs They have no compassion, they are evil incarnate (embodied in flesh). The headlines of the Iraqi newspaper reflect this: ISIS executes 8 security members in one of Mosuls prisons, 74 Children executed by ISIS for refusing to fast, Lined up and executed, their head severed and put on display as a warning to others.... these have become so common there, they are not shocking to the populace any longer.

CPT (Join to see) it's disheartening that these people are still at large--terrorizing innocent people. When do we say enough is enough and increase military force..

Just ISIS being ISIS. This is an evil organization that does not have humanity, compassion or mercy in its playbook. The more barbarity they exhibit, the less support they will have. Just more evidence that they need to exterminated.

Yeah, burning some fighters who retreated will only encourage others to GTFO.

This is not surprising @COL Mikel COL Mikel J. Burroughs. ISIS did the same to those who fled from Saddam's hometown of Tikrit. This public execution is a sign of desperation and pure evil which reminds me of what some of the hard corps Nazi's did in the waning days of WWII. I hope that moral is failing throughout ISIS and that in desperation some groups will rise up against ISIS leaders and destroy the organization from within.

Yes Sir, when the SS went around hanging everyone whom they thought was not willing to fight to the last bullet or Panzerfaust for the Fuhrer, it was a pretty clear signpost that the end was near. I really loved that scene in Fury where Brad Pitt's Tank commander character, asks the local Burgermeister "Is this the Nazi that has been stringing kids up?" One of the dismounted infantry from his armored brigade, shoots the SS Captain to death with a Thompson 45 caliber Sub-machinegun in the village square. Now that is what I call Justice, though not "officially" as a former JAG (technically that Nazi's execution was probably a war crime, since the SS Officer had surrendered, and was then summarily executed, but does anyone doubt for a minute that He received Justice, sure and certain, for his hanging of underage kids, who's only crime was being too scared to fight the Americans?

I doubt that our soldiers or Marines would be willing to take many ISIS fighter's prisoner in light of their many crimes against humanity, gays, civilians and captured POWs.

If we end up in a ground fight in Iraq and Syria, it will be an ugly war of extermination that we have not seen since our Island Campaigns against the Japs in WWII. The same one that took my mother's fathesr life in a dawn banzai Attack on March 14th, 1945, Antipolo, Luzon, the Philippines. The Marines, after they saw the barbarity the Japs were capable of, just didn't take many prisoners, and that is how it was. That is why they call those kinds of wars, "Wars of Extermination."
