Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Is Is?

The last war that the U.S. won
Was a way back when World War II,
When less talking, more hands on done.
Won - cuz the U.S. wanted to.
Back then was press and radio.
Speechifying was minimized.
Public knew on a need to know.
Aim was enemy be surprised.
Now the definition of win
War is debated to no end.
What will and won't be done and when
Blabbers out like a Facebook friend.

The word for ISIS is is, cuz
The word for U.S. win is was.
