#2 Why? After the survivors are wrung out for information, they'll get left with the Kurds, or the Kurds'll turn them over to the Syrians. They're dead in any case.

#5 You need human intell

Killing everyone robs you of the opportunity to, as pappy said, "wring them out for information"

Which has been a key flaw in the Obumble terrorism campaign of drone zapping instead of snatching a combatant for a "chat"

Didn't any of you guys do a "POW snatch" back in the day?
