Defeat!

Here is a concise web article that describes:
"Top 8 Roman Military Defeats"
Mind you, defeats now, not victories.
Rome lasted a long time, and we think of Rome as being the GREAT WORLD POWER of it's day. The road to greatness, however, had a number of significant military defeats along the way that would have disheartened a lesser people. NOT the Romans.
"Which were the worst military defeats in Ancient Rome? Were they the ones that from our perspective changed history or the ones that the Romans held up as cautionary tales -- the ones that made them stronger?"
The Romans were excellent at analyzing "what went wrong" and formulating solutions that would not only prevent a recurrence, but made them stronger and better.
America in the war against the jihadi must be the same way. The U.S. did profit from mistakes made in Vietnam, realizing that changes were imperative, adjusted accordingly, and was victorious in the First Gulf War. Lessons will have to learned from the current war, and adjustments made. Despair will not do any good!!

Defeating the Jihadis is simple. Bring home the fleet, air force and army and close our borders to them and they will kill each other as they have done for centuries.
Keep in mind, Osama did not bomb our battleship fleet with a carrier force (as at Pearl Harbor), preparatory to a land invasion with a mechanized army. The economy of force is all on his side.
When some lad with near zero prospects drives a car bomb at our assets and destroys men who have been highly trained and are using expensive equipment we suffer an economic defeat. Enough of them could, in the immortal words of Ev Dirksen, add up to real money.
