I am not making excuses for anybody here.
But wouldn't the Islamic Jihad, Al qaeda and the like be stupid, from a military point of view, to try to confront the American military on a conventional field of battle?
Isn't hit & run, ambush, terrorism, anonymity etc. a more logical choice for them?
It appears to me that the USA/Pentagon learned nothing from Vietnam. They don't seem to have recognized that the same style of warfare they are facing in Iraq, defeated them 35 years ago, and is failing them today.
