The ISIS savages can not be deterred by 'strongly worded letters'. I'd rather not see 'boots on the ground' if we can avoid it, but filling the airspace above them with U.S. warriors and the machines they use is going to be effective, and it's a really good start.

The air strikes will weaken them but it will take boots on the ground to eliminate them.   Hopefully Trump and Putin can work together like Eisenhower and Zukov did in WW2, squeezing them from the West and East.

I agree. I just don't think boots on the ground should be the first course of action. Scare the hell outta' them to the point where their communication and organization is crippled and they'll be easier targets.

Trump's inauguration can be seen as step one, Mattis' confirmation as step two, and their combined willingness to act as step three. The enemy is hiding in their caves right now trying to figure out what step four might be, and that alone is going to prevent them from doing damage for a while.

If you can out-think and out-smart your enemy there's no point in just walking up and punching him in the nose. There's little difference between the art of warfare and the art of business when you get right down to it.
