It only makes sense if there is all out war, utter defeat, and unconditional surrender.
Japan was just as radical and religiously fanatical a nation in WWII.
They were utterly defeated and unconditionally surrendered. Within months Americans were walking freely in their cities and marrying their women.
We’ve been at these wars for 15 years, and there is no place that a sane commander would tell his troops: “You have weekend passes. Everyone go into town and have a good time.”
Yep, and I even wonder if that would be possible with a Muslim nation, due to Islam and Western philosophy being completely incompatible.
