The full weight of American air power can achieve any political outcome, even if that means utter destruction of the foe so that there is no longer a partner for negotiation. In Vietnam, Linebacker II forced the Communists to the negotiating table because they could no longer tolerate the ceaseless bombing of their urban areas and infrastructure. This lesson is forgotten because it contradicts the establishment narrative that everything the American military did in Vietnam was a failure, particularly under Nixon and Kissinger. The Islamists are even more vulnerable to air power because they have no ground to air capability whatsoever, to say nothing of air to air.
