This is the problem with USA military thinking. The USA has lost every insurgency war since the stand-off in Korea.
Picking them (ISIS, IS, ISIL {the goat butt-fuckers}) off a few at a time from the air is a joke and is probably costing $250M for every one we kill that way. Look what was spent in Iraq and Afghanistan -- what good was it even with a 100K+ man invasion force sent to each of those countries with 100% air superiority?
Arm the military age immigrants and ship them back to fight their own wars?
Stop NATO, pan Arab and USA air strikes and let them duel to the death with the armaments they stole or bought illicitly -- they would be mostly fighting with sticks and stones had the USA, Russia, China and the EU not armed them in the first place. Smart move -- hand your enemy and his enemy a weapon -- shit for brains.

Clear the skies and give them rocket launchers.
We will have to deal with the last men standing one way or another
That's the easy way ...
