....and I agree. If the bad guy keeps getting knocked back to phase 1 or 2, he is not making progress. He may give up. He may have his will to continue, broken. That is all military force can do.
After that it is back to Politics! - and that is when the social/welfare work begins, BUT - that is nothing to do with the military. They've done their bit.
COIN is military. Social equality, welfare and human rights are not Military activities.
