“People can think of a lot of things.”

Yes, for instance, “Comparing the asymmetrical war against ISIS to World War II is pointless, not even apples and oranges as the saying goes.”

The war is “asymmetrical” only because we lack the will to bring sufficient force to bear.

A...no. That’s not what “asymmetrical warfare” means. Words matter. Ideas matter too. Somethings, too, are self-evident. No matter how much force we bring to bear a war between the US led coalition and ISIS would remain asymmetrical by definition. If you understand what the term “asymmetrical” means, you’ll realize I’m correct in what I posted. I don’t get the impression you’re the type of person who does research about things you know little of before you post, though, nor or you likely to say “Yup, I was wrong.”
