The U.S.A. needs to not fight Is Is over there. The U.S.A. soldiers must return to U.S.A. to focus on border patrol, and also before another dangerous middle east group is formed. There will always be some dangerous group. But what would I know?
This is a war that cannot be fought and WON with military might. Radical Islam is an IDEA. Promoted by a few OLDER Clerics or whatever they are called in that part of the World. These older Imams, Mullahs, Clerics etc have convinced millions of their followers that they have an instant ticket to Paradise if they kill INFIDELS and are killed in doing so. Killing these misguided followers by the thousands will never stop them! Their leaders have convinced them that GOD will reward them instantly if they die in their cause.
In my opinion there are only TWO ways that radical Islamists can be defeated and neither way is Politically Correct.The first way would be to undertake massive COVERT operations to kill or even better discredit the OLDER Clerics spreading this false promise. This would require a significant amount of intelligence assets that we currently do not have. This method would be cost effective but it would take TIME. Time that we may not have.
The best way would be to give these people a BETTER answer. IOW convert them to Christianity! However this method would provoke many of our own citizens and leaders to anger. One small ship stationed off shore in the Persian Gulf broadcasting the message of Christ would be much more cost effective than dozens of B-1 Bombers.
It's not like the Bible is any less bloody and brutal than the Quran. More people have been killed in the name of Christ than Allah. These people are extremists because of how and where they've been raised. Most of them can't even read so Islam is just an excuse to act out violently and join in with groups that seem to have all the answers. Just like gangs, really. Converting nuts to Christianity would just result in Christian nuts.
If the Air Force brass is so dead set on killing the Warthog as an American aircraft, I'd be all for selling them to Jordan so the King has a weapon that can deal with any tanks ISIS may have.
You would think with a US active duty enlisted of over a million men, the US could put up a limited "police action" anywhere in the world and clean house.

Am I wrong?
Politically, it isn't acceptable to the current CiC or the US public to just open a can of whoop ass and indiscriminately kill anyone in a limited area who supports its enemies which is what would be required.
Let's look at post WWII Germany. The Nazis tried to set up an insurgency called Operation Werewolf. Eisenhower ordered said the occupying policies would be to excite anyone involved, and after a few teenagers were executed the Germans got the message that this would not be tolerated.
Now George Bush could speak about evil doers, but in Iraq and Afghanistan he could never go so far as Eisenhower did in Germany political and likely personal restraints existed to stop him from doing so. Obama can't even bring himself to use this rhetoric so how much further from walking the walk is he than Bush was?
Furthermore remember the phrase "shock and awe?" The fellow who came up with that term in a paper outling a possible U.S. invasion of Iraq was angry about the Bush administration using it because as he pointed out he advocated everything they did and then some such as carpetbombing Baghdad in a style reminiscent of what happened to German and Japanese cities of WWII. Again this was a guy who wanted to send the message that opposing the U.S. would not be tolerated and would bring about a wholly out of scale retaliation, but politically this was a non starter.

Not so sure as you are about the American public. Obama is just drinking his own kool aid.
Confused about what you said, the way you phrased it, but I don't believe the US ever adopted a program of kill everyone, destroy everything which is the way I read your post.
I am sure ISIS' violence is way beyond what we have come to expect from a freedom fighter. If what they have accomplished to date was done instead by a serial killer, wouldn't we, and everyone else, react?
I think we need to investigate who is really behind ISIS. I was suspicious as soon as I found out their name. The Western global elite like to name things after Egyptian/Babylonian gods/goddesses and often use numerology and other symbolism. But the name ISIS was very blatant to me. I am currently watching this video. I definitely don't think we can trust the reporting of mainstream media:

You are wrong. The vast majority of military personnel are not combat troops, they're support staff. And you're talking about wars. There is no "limited police action" when you're fighting natives, especially when you can't tell targets from friendlies. It would be the same cluster**** as Iraq.

I'm not sure if you're a troll or just stupid.
