But Lamborn is right in one thing -

Defeating a group militarily unfortunately does not mean defeating the hatred and bigotry motivating that group.

And you're not going to defeat hatred and bigotry through violence. History has shown that time and again. Violence only begets further violence, further hatred, further bigotry.
