So the answer to the looming war is to fight the war like the biggest war we lost? Who are these people?

There is no way to win a war against this type of opponent. There is no "other side," just a bunch of individuals.
We can throw as many soldiers in the pit as possible, but with our current (and Iraqi/Afghan historically noted) rules of engagement, there is no way to wage the war on those individuals.
If our Gov were serious about dealing with these extremists, we'd leave the region entirely and completely cut off the cashflow to countries around them, surely taking a big cut out of their funding.
...and carpet bomb the region with nukes.
Only way to win that war is to fight a war of attrition. Scorched earth. Sun Tzu, all that. Only possible way to actually win a war.
Get the Chinese to fight them. They put a value on human life equal to what the ISIS terrorists do. Since we spend millions to protect each of our soldiers lives, the math says we'll go completely bankrupt if we take on another war in the Middle East.
