What I mean is to take the fight, to those that want to destroy the west. Bring the battle to their soil. Either that, or close our borders and become an isolated country.
OK, we did that.
Now that we brought them the battle, what is the purpose of the battle? What outcome do we desire? And what means are necessary to accomplish the desired outcome?
"Bringing them the battle" is a tactic. It's not a strategy.
We desperately need a strategy.
