I am a US Marine, and the Marine line of thinking is to overwhelm and destroy the enemy. Not prick them and piss them off and call it a win and go home. If you go in, you have to go all in - not do the bare minimum.
This is where the problem has been for decades - the politicians call the shots, not the military. Politicians are worried about what the public is going to think, if their party will win the next election, and what their legacy will be. These three things have nothing to do with winning a war.
