You can't defeat an insurgency with an occupation under the current rules of engagement. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, should have been enough to teach us that.
As soon as we show up they'll put away their black flags, put on their finest civilian clothes, and lay dormant planting IED's until we leave. It's also a colossal drain on our resources that accomplishes nothing, and this reality is one of the motivations behind these terrorist attacks... trying to provoke a misguided, useless, expensive response. Just look at all the ways 9/11 has degraded our country purely due to the actions we took in the aftermath.

Storming and blowing the shit out of their strongholds in northern Iraq is a step that needs to be taken, and eventually will be, by us or someone else. But yeah the ROE does cripple us - but only us. You think Putin will care? Not that I expect him to launch an invasion but someone has to take the ROE and wipe their ass with it to eliminate these fuckers.
Only other thing we can do is
not let these fuckers in our countries. France is currently fucked because there's too many of them already and the rest of Europe is in serious danger with these new refugees. One of the suicide bombers was a "Syrian refugee" who passed through Greece.
Can't let these fuckers in.
