I did specify "any conventional military force"; 'winning' an occupation/insurgency is quite another matter, particularly when the 'win conditions' are political rather than military. And doubly true when those political win conditions are poorly defined in the first place. But trust me, defense industry lobbyists are very eager for the US Government to spend even more money to address these shortcomings...
