about ISIS ...

What is dr. ben trying to say? What belief and/or values are we giving away and how does that relate to the ISIS fighters dying for what they believe in?

Is he saying, Americans should be willing to die for what we don't believe in? Because, based on his comment, we are, clearly, killing ISIS fighters.

What needs to change?

I the words of Gen. George S. Patton:

War is not meant to be you dying for your country (beliefs/values) -it is about making the other bastard die for his.
