'They're coming out with their hands up – full scale surrender': US General says ISIS fighters in Iraq are giving up after not being fed or paid

    About 1,000 militants surrendered during the last days of the battle for Hawija
    The US military says ISIS fighters in Iraq have been abandoned by their leaders
    As few as 3,000 militants are estimated to still remain in Iraq in Syria
    Officials have warned that the group may still prove to be resilient

US-backed Iraqi forces announced Thursday they have retaken one of Islamic State's remaining strongholds after hundreds of militants surrendered amid fresh signs the terror group is collapsing and unable to defend its territory.

'They're giving up,' said Lieutenant General Paul Funk, who commands the coalition task force fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. 'Their leaders are abandoning them.'

In uncommon scenes, large groups of militants were turning themselves over to Kurdish Peshmerga forces, in the city southwest of Kirkuk.

These animals should not be permitted to surrender.
They should be shot -- hands up, regardless.

Sorry if you don't like that.
But after the reports of how isis has behaved towards Christians and civilians -- I don't care.
