Yes and no.
They are up against arabs. They are not the deadliest of adversary's in the world, not the softest either.
They are supplied by a first-world super-power and have spiritual vigor to match the fanatical ways of islam.
Once the arab attacks are broken, the mopping up begins. Breaking an arab onslaught is not easy either.

If we try to take a higher moral ground than them, I revert us back to our mentality of WTSHTF, we look after us and our own and everyone else can go swivel.

Well said, a shame this mentality terrify's most of the baby-boomer types alas.

I don't know what the end game is here on this one, history is being written!
