this isnt a war. wars have defined combatants and frontlines that can be conquered. this is like mideast wack-a-mole.

I disagree mrd. Thi sis a war - but not one designed for modern military. In modern military terms this is called a fourth generation conflict which is almost a throwback to medieval times and earlier - with tribes and other non-state actors as participants. Such types of warfare are messy and violent and ill-defined.The US military is a force designed to engage other armies of nations and defeat them - a job with which they are still unmatched. Occupying a pissant country with a violent population for a long stretch is exactly what they are not trained to do.
