Some of the U.S. Army's sharpest minds warned young combat leaders of what they should expect as America enters a new chapter in its war with Islamic extremists.

Seasoned leaders such as retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal met with young Army officers and sergeants at Fort Benning, Ga., just hours before President Obama outlined his strategy for destroying the extremist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

"We are at a period where our enemies respect us, but they don't fear us," McChrystal told his audience at the 2014 Maneuver Conference Wednesday. McChrystal is the former commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan.

"The specter of American power is no longer enough to get somebody just not to do something."

The United States will lead a broad coalition to "downgrade and destroy" ISIL in what will be a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy, Obama announced Wednesday night.

Obama said he would approve the expansion of airstrikes into Syria.

"I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as in Iraq," Obama said. "This is a core principle of my presidency - if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven."

Obama assured the U.S. public that the effort will not include large numbers of combat troops on the ground.

But senior military officials see this as only the beginning. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the outgoing head of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, told the same group of young leaders that extremist groups such as ISIL - also known as the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) - and al Qaeda are expanding their cause to southeast Asia and other regions of the world.

"This is expansion; this is Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and particularly Indonesia," Flynn said. "This is a big problem; it is well beyond ISIS. We are in a state of perpetual conflict. We are not post war force."
