…Rules Of Engagement. "Even in losing, the Islamic State group has shown it conducts a "lessons learned" exercise so it won't repeat battlefield mistakes. Whether it can forestall what the Obama administration predicts is an inevitable defeat in Syria and Iraq is doubtful. But the fighters' attention to U.S. rules of engagement has paid dividends at times. Learning lessons in war is a major intellectual exercise by the U.S. military and other advanced armed forces.
