I'll just say that it is pretty sad that the Major Command that would over see such warfare throws out that the U.S. military is incapable to conduct such warfare.

It's not that we don't lack in strategies but rather we now lack the cojones to employ some of them. I'm sure there are some other higher ups that have to have some kind of strategy that would disagree with this report.

Heck, I've heard some interesting ideas and strategies on this board alone.

First, if you do not have a strategy, you never admit that. You can always say that you are working on it. Let them guess whether you actually do or not.
You already hit the nail on the head with that one TR. These Generals should take notes from you.

Next, the wussification of America and the military is evident. We have dropped combat effectiveness for a grand social experiment. We want a bloodless war, like people got used to in Desert Storm. What these thugs need to see is Old Testament violence and punishment. No mercy, no quarter. Bomb them even further into the Stone Age, shoot every one of them, unleash Hell fire, and salt the earth of their people. Hamburg. Berlin. Tokyo. Dresden. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Give the residents a couple of days to force out the ISIL scum on their own, and then we punish them. Make an example of the first few cities, so that they fear us more than ISIL. Use the Iraqi Army to fight and secure the population centers. Kill deserters. Create a highway of death and a string of burning vehicles and dead bodies all the way back to the Syrian border like DS. Then offer to continue the attack inside Syria if there are any more problems with ISIL. Seize their funds. Attack their infrastructure. Initiate PSYOP messaging to those who might be inclined to support our enemies, or oppose us. Divide their alliances. I don't want Americans on the ground again in Iraq, but since I want ISIL on the ground in the US even less, we will do what we have to.

You want a strategy? Here you go. Or strategy is to use every means at our disposal to kill every ISIL member and sympathizer we can find who remains inside Iraq in 72 hours. We reserve the right to start early if it pleases us. Go home now or die. And here is another thing. I don't want to hear any shit about departure plans and dates till victory has been achieved. We are staying till the job is done and the last shot is fired. By us.

Finally, if you travel outside the US to attend this party, you are immediately and permanently stripped of your US passport and citizenship. And your families go on the watch list as potential collaborators.*

BTW, the rest of the military not involved in this action are deploying to secure our southern border. Better late then never.

That is all.

With everything I've read and watched pertaining on a strategy for ISIS this is probably one of the best!

It's one thing to internally admit and address a shortcoming; it's another to advertise to the world.
