Do you think Isis/Da'ish can be destroyed without a significant number of American boots on the ground and would you volunteer to go to iraq to fight Isis/Da'ish?

Honestly, I believe that IS will collapse of it's own accord, with a little help from the outside.
They do not know how to govern.
Their brutal tactics are of great utility while compaigning, but when they have to occupy vast areas, it will work against them.
They do not have enough men to effective control their rear areas or lines of communication.
Their revenue streams are very vulnerable to international countermeasures.

Were I to devise a strategy, it would be very light on manpower and concentrate on exploiting those vulnerabilities.

Can we call it the never ending war Story? no matter if we crush them another Islamic group or terrorist will reunite renamed united under the same ideals. Sickens me that people are so shallow go to great lengths to join a lost cause. Where it does not help humanity at all. Then again seems the cradle of civilization really has nothing new still part of the stone age family. The younger civilizations have surpassed them by far in all technologies are they that stubborn I wonder? damn I lost track lol!
