That is why we have wars that last forever. We don't fight to win.
The troops on the ground do their part. They always have and always will, but the political leadership prevents the taking of measures that are necessary to break the will of the enemy. Because of that, we now engage in campaigns that last for decades.
Regarding the use of military force against a hostile state, we need to either go all in or stay home.

The world has turned a few times since then, now we have laser guided, pinpoint accurate bombs, bunker busters, MOAB, drones capable of taking out multiple moving objects, surveillance and striking ability that quite simply is state of the art.
Mass genocide that happened back then will never be repeated.
