> ... they have the key to win gorilla wars like the ones they have had trouble with in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
To me this sounds very naive. After all they killed 3-4 million Vietnamese during that war.
The only way to win a war on such a scale is to commit genocide, since an enemy willing to keep fighting after losing many millions will not stop fighting unless you kill them all.
But yes, technically you are right, you would "win the peace" if you exterminate the enemy population.
