But again, there was zero killing of US soldiers by German rebels in postwar Iraq. None. Zilch. Nada.
And then there was the American Civil War. Sporadic armed resistance by small bands of diehard Confederates continued for years in the South and West after the Union victory at Appomatox. Politically, it has been fairly recently that it can be said that the South rejoined the nation. Remember the one -party Solid South that used to be?

It's not nearly that simple. Victories have ultimately been won and peace achieved in spite of resistance by remnants who have to be killed to the last man.
