What's the end-game, if survival is the issue?

Not 100% correct, IMO.

First, the degree of force used- if thermobaric or tactical nuclear, history shows that morale will be broken. Who knows what extreme

measures might be needed when our survival is at stake?

Second, the boots on the ground are muslim ones and they ARE having effect. Territory is being won back and ISIL is no longer

all-conquering.

The west has learned the hard way that OUR boots are unwelcome

anywhere in the muslim world and nothing unites these fanatics like

'crusaders'. Therefore putting western forces in will ensure defeat.

Japan had willing suicide bombers, too. But Hiroshima/Nagasaki

cured them. Iran is pushing hard to be next in line for the Japan

lesson. The most likely to be forced into the nuclear nightmare is

undoubtedly Israel.

"We love death as you love life". Well then- give it to *them; they

get jannah, we avoid slavery to allah.

[*them, meaning all the terror groups. Non-combatant casualties, immense. Can't be avoided]. Was same with Japan...
