A repeat of Aghanistan and the counter-terrorist operations in Iraq. Decent success at first in driving them underground with overwhelming force but you wouldn't be able to destroy the operation. Guerrila warfare, IED's, terrorism would be even more rampant than now. Then the USA would be exhausted and leave and all the terrorist groups would be able to regroup, bolstered by new recruits radicalized by the atrocities of the US army. So ultimately a loss for the US army as is common for most of their modern wars.

Right. You can't defeat an idea with guns. Wall those fuckers off, take away their tech, let woman and children out once they have been extreme vetted, in essence, make a giant desert prison. That's how you kill an idea.
