We don't necessarily have to occupy the area. We do have to go house-to-house, seize any weapons and ammunition, kill or arrest any combatants, and route out any communications or strategic assets the insurgents have.
If that means more troops, then so be it. The plain and simple fact is that we have to commit to being there or we have to leave. We cannot accept letting insurgents control part of the country or we'll be at a stalemate indefinitely.

I think your approach may mean more troops, but for sure it means lot o'dead marines. Easy for you arm chair generals to advocate.
