I believe it will require some type of forces on the ground. Now, if it's not, not ours, but some type. Okay, so you got 30 or 40,000 members of ISIL right now. Reports we're hearing is their numbers are growing faster than we're destroying them. They're not being degraded. They may be degraded in some places, but growing in others, spreading in other places. How many ground troops do you think it's going to take realistically to decimate them, to defeat them?
