To date in Iraq we've lost less than 5k, not 10k.
Again, we need to make a decision. We need to continue what we are doing which is less than effective, or go all in with tens of thousand of troops on the ground for the long haul.
Right now the public is calling for action, and rightfully so. But two years from now when one thousand US servicemen have come home in body bags the public will say "What are we fighting for?" and "We weren't attacked - why are we still there". And then we'll have the discussion "ISIS has been defeated, it's time to come home" without understanding that we have defeated ISIS as a group, but not the ideology of racial Islam.
