You are missing my point. I am well aware of what "the Military" is trying to do.
I am well aware that the military is having to pick up the slack for other agencies failings and strategic dissonance.
I am merely stating the truism that if you apply military forces to problems that are not military in nature, then you will rarely get the outcome by the route you desire.
There are real limits to military power as a solution to non-military problems.
Thinking about the "problem in a different way," doesn't change that, unless someone wants to make all the same mistakes, all over again.
