  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Not only is it a war crime to give orders to take no prisoners/offer no quarter, it's also against American law to even make that threat in your propaganda.
