Most response to jihadism should be covert rather than overt; members of jihadist organizations should be killed in ways that make them understand that the martyrdom they seek will be granted to them, while jihadism is dismantled logistically, economically, and informationally.

Evidence Quote

most of our response to it should be covert...members of Hamas and Hezbollah and al- Qaeda and the Islamic State and al-shabab and bokah Haram and the Pakistani Taliban and every other jihadist organization on Earth should be made to understand every day of their lives that the martyrdom they seek will be granted to them jihadism has to be destroyed in every way that it can be destroyed logistically economically informationally but also in the most material sense
