He gathered them in groups of 100, and out out one eye if the leader. The other 99 had both eyes taken. They were then released to return home.

Tribal families act like trees, or weeds. Whack one, there's a whole tree or field full of the same.<br /><br />And, really, unless the ISIL/ISIS brides and children are captured and enslaved, with maybe a chance - a slight chance - of redemption, then the women and children of the adult male warriors are part of the 'army' structure, aiding and abetting the males in fighting, intelligence gathering, carrying, emplacing explosives, serving as walking mines, etc...<br /><br />Sad, but we in 'civilized' lands just don't understand it. They are actually more 'alien' than the Imperial Japanese during WWII.<br /><br />Sad, so very sad. But it's the reality of things. Like tribal warfare in Africa, you have tribal warfare in the Middle East.<br /><br />The Mongols may have had the right idea. "Make a desert and call it peace." But that's really an inhumane way to solve the problem, isn't it?Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-28692920874718562692019-10-17T12:24:25.225-05:002019-10-17T12:24:25.225-05:00Blood-soaked ground is great for crops.

Even though we were helping their 'brothers', the Kurds in Turkey threatened to kidnap or kill an American a day because we were allies of the Turks.<br /><br />You can't tell them apart even with a scorecard.Trooper Leftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486199578939085988noreply@blogger.com
