The argument is that the Rebellion must be put down hard....that there has to be pain directed to anyone who supported the Rebellion, there must be the teaching of a lesson.
Should we have them, why or why not?
Me no of course, because this is a Dark Age tactic and I support Civilization.
Kill all terrorists. They'll be the ones dressed like Rambo but about 50 pounds heavier. Don't try for a head shot, just center of mass. If they are wearing body armor then aim for the waist line. When they go down, shoot again up and under the body armor from either the crotch end or the head end.
Before shooting, try to identify the leader(s). Like a quarterback, they'll be up on the line but towards the center. Watch for little hand signals or others looking at him. Taking down the leaders will often result in confusion and possibly break up the attack right there.
Have no doubt, these are anti-American terrorists who seek to use force to overturn an election.
If you can't identify the leader, then guess. Pick out the biggest douchebag and shoot him first. In the picture below, the terrorist in the black mask stands out from the others and is in the middle. Without any other clues, I'd identify him as the leader.
In a terrorist attack, taking down their leaders may cause confusion or demoralize them but don't stop shooting. Take them all down. My humble advice is take 30 seconds to prioritize your targets. If you're lucky, you can break up the terrorist attack and they'll run. BTW, in war, don't stop shooting just because they are running. Never forget these are anti-American terrorists, shoot them in the back or in the ass. They are the enemy.
