"It would teach the US military to “fight to win,” as opposed to...whatever it is he thinks the military does now."

What it does now is give ISIS a one hour heads up before it starts bombing them. And that's not fighting to win.

"Fighting to win" also means using "rules of engagement" designed to minimize US casualties, rather than rules which mandate that US troops endure casualties rather than risk any incident involving enemy civilians.

Our warfighters complain that politics and the UCMJ prevent them from aggressively winning conflicts. Trump espouses taking the gloves off and fighting at or above the level of our adversaries. If they fight dirty, we fight dirty. IMO.
