Why risk the lives of Americans to give these wanna-be martyrs what they want? Besiege them, use scent warfare (grilling steaks for dinner upwind of the besieged buildings) and let them surrender, starve, or attack.
In the first case, they get arrested and likely imprisoned for the rest of their lives given the crimes that have been reported.
In the second case, it’s easy to think of someone as a martyr if they die violently. Wasting away to nothing is a much less glamorous death.
In the third case, if the military is fortified they’ll likely do little damage and the message will be that they were killed in self-defense by the troops that were being attacked.
