Why Is America Losing Faith With Our Strategy Against ISIS? Three Key Factors Explain The Public's Growing Lack Of Confidence

The American public is rapidly losing confidence in our Nation's ability to combat ISIS and it comes down to three key factors: perception, cooked books, and the reality on the ground. BLUF: The public perception is that ISIS is growing in strength and influence despite what the Administration keeps telling us. Whenever we hear about our effectiveness in combating ISIS, we learn months later that the estimates and figures fed to us were grossly inflated. Lastly, it's hard to dispute the reality on the ground, with things like an international refugee crisis in Europe, bloody attacks in Paris, and the downing of a Russian passenger liner. The question remains, what can and must we do if the public is to regain confidence in our fight against ISIS? Is it even possible, or must it now wait until a new Administration takes office in 2016? What say you, RP Nation? Is this a winnable fight?
