In reply to the discussion: Everyone hates ISIS....So what do you want to do about it ? [View all]ChosenUnWisely
(588 posts)92. Now hear me out, The US Gov puts a bounty, dead or alive, of $500 a head on ISIS
Open to any US Citizen who wants to go and fight ISIS and Muslims for Jesus. The volunteers can have their choice of rifles and pistols they want in the US arsenal, free ammo, food (MREs) and water. The gov will also supply 4WD pickups, parts and fuel, they can modify all they want, they will know how.
Heavily advertise with plenty of over the top propaganda on Fox, RW Hate Radio and Churches.
Call it the Pat Robertson Brigade or something like that.
There will be plenty of volunteers.
Now the good part
.we will get to ship a whole bunch of our religious nut jobs to go fight religious nut jobs and the odds are very good they will pretty much take each other out.
Win, Win for everyone!
