    "If they choose not to surrender, then we will kill them with extreme prejudice...by dropping bombs on them, shooting them in the face, or beating them to death with our entrenching tools."

    - Army Command Sgt. Maj. John Wayne Troxell

    How about beheading. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

    yes, I know - although saying that a properly chopped off head is supposed to be the least painful way to be killed and the guillotine was designed to be the best.
    (obviously before drugs the US uses now though I think they have their own problems)

    US military has a long history of killing foes with entrenching tools

    Excerpts:

    The Military Times Hall of Valor includes many citations for medals and awards that U.S. service members have earned for relying on their entrenching tool as a weapon of last resort.

    In 1969, Silver Star recipient U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Lewis Grover was without his weapon in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, when he spotted a lone Viet Cong fighter in a bunker.

    Grover, a rifleman with Company H, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, was tasked to refill all of the canteens for his unit when he spotted the enemy. Grover pretended not to notice the fighter, then quietly picked up an entrenching tool he found on the river bank.

    “He then maneuvered to a position from which he could approach the bunker entrance unseen. When an enemy soldier carrying an automatic weapon came out of the bunker, Private First Class Grover, armed only with the entrenching tool, unhesitatingly attacked the Viet Cong,” his award citation reads.

    Finally, there is Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Army Pfc. Anthony T. Kaho’ohanohano.

    In 1951, Kaho’ohanohano was out of ammunition, wounded and determined to provide cover for retreating friendly forces in Chup’a-ri, South Korea.

    Kaho’ohanohano was in charge of a machine gun squad supporting Company H, 2nd Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, when the unit was overrun by a much larger enemy force.

    “Private Kaho’ohanohano fought fiercely and courageously, delivering deadly accurate fire into the ranks of the onrushing enemy,” his award citation read.

    “When his ammunition was depleted, he engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat until he was killed. His heroic stand so inspired his comrades that they launched a counterattack that completely repulsed the enemy. Coming upon Private Kaho’ohanohano’s position, the friendly troops found 11 enemy soldiers lying dead before it and two in the emplacement itself, beaten to death with an entrenching shovel.”
