A too-convenient assumption, sir. And as we've discussed before, we differ in our desire for the deaths of persons whose only crime is some level of assumed 'wrong loyalty.'
I'll admit to an emotion here. The emotion is called 'appalled.' Intellectually I know how this works, but I'm still surprised when a normally perfectly-decent person starts calling for the extermination of persons he calls bugs.
I would suggest that neither of us have the training or the specific intelligence of the situation on the ground to design a campaign to conquer and pacify the ISIS territory. But I doubt the effectiveness of bombing to wipe out an enemy able to shelter in deep bunkers, unless you are able to specifically target the bunkers with special weapons. I would suspect the casualties from 'carpet-bombing' to be 100 civilians per one ISIS fighter, or worse. You just wish for bombing because you imagine it to be an easy and painless-for-us way to kill an enemy you want killed. All this is by way of saying I don't think I assume the burden of generalship by opposing your desired air-tactics.

Then am I to understand that you are one of the crew that advocates sending our young men and women over there to engage in hand to hand combat? With an enemy that dresses just like all the civilians around them? Sorry DQ but your pious mutterings do not carry much weight,
I read most new posts in this group and I must confess that the absolute bias exhibited by many posters is appalling. Y'all cheerfully select which bits of history fit with your particular view and ignore the bits that do not. You have put me into some special pigeon hole of your own making and ignored anyting that I write which will not fit that pattern. You do not know me simply because you have no desire to know me. That is fine by me because I have no need of your acceptance or friendship. Tata
