We, i.e. Western Civilization, are in a 100 year war. The only victory is divestiture of Islam within the territorial boundaries of Western countries. We are NOT guaranteed victory.
We can avoid the decades of war. Remember Japan? Eisenhower knew the Japanese would not surrender.
Do we keep killing and injuring the cream of America crop?
Think of those Wounded Warrior ads.
The difference is Japan was one country and Muslims are worldwide.
