Bombing terrorists and fighting them directly is like trying to stop a stream of water from going down a mountain; it'll branch off into other streams and continue indefinitely no matter how many side streams you block. However, the source of water up the mountain could be cut off entirely, stopping the flow of water down the mountain. The stream of water is terrorists, the source of water is a narrative that's so powerful that bombs and bullets won't do shit against it. The only way to win against it is to create a stronger, better narrative than the terrorist one we're fighting. In a game of strategy, even board games, every move that's not made offensively toward an objective (ie, defensive and lateral moves) is a losing move. Stomping out the metaphorical streams on the mountain, then jumping to contain the little side streams that branch off from it is an endless battle of defense because it's categorically not a move toward the true objective of stopping the water supply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afroyim_v._Rusk
"Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967), is a major United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that citizens of the United States may not be deprived of their citizenship involuntarily.[1][2] The U.S. government had attempted to revoke the citizenship of Beys Afroyim, a man born in Poland, because he had cast a vote in an Israeli election after becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. The Supreme Court decided that Afroyim's right to retain his citizenship was guaranteed by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. In so doing, the Court overruled one of its own precedents, Perez v. Brownell (1958), in which it had upheld loss of citizenship under similar circumstances less than a decade earlier."
"The impact of Afroyim v. Rusk was narrowed by a later case, Rogers v. Bellei (1971), in which the Court determined that the Fourteenth Amendment safeguarded citizenship only when a person was born or naturalized in the United States, and that Congress retained authority to regulate the citizenship status of a person who was born outside the United States to an American parent. However, the specific law at issue in Rogers v. Bellei—a requirement for a minimum period of U.S. residence that Bellei had failed to satisfy—was repealed by Congress in 1978. As a consequence of revised policies adopted in 1990 by the United States Department of State, it is now (in the words of one expert) "virtually impossible to lose American citizenship without formally and expressly renouncing it."[4]

OP , saying they are in a narrative fight and a narrative battle in no way implies that they don't think real terrorist attacks are taking place or that there isn't a real fight going on with ISIS.
It just means that in addition to other forms of struggle there is also a narrative war going on.
The same thing was said about the fight with the nazis . That war includes a huge propaganda war, a narrative war.
All major wars and conflicts include a narrative component.
It doesn't mean that's ALL it is.
Propaganda/narrative battle is a key component of all conflicts since ancient times .
It's a hugely important part of war - who frames the story, who defines the conflict, who controls the meaning , who tells the story - who wins the narrative war.
That doesn't mean he is denying that actual attacks are taking place. It just means in this instance he is talking about the propaganda battle that is one major facet of the larger struggle.

"Propaganda/narrative battle is a key component of all conflicts"
I agree, so why did he "focused on the important of 'debunking' false narratives and not painting Muslims with a 'broad brush'"?
What's the false narrative being painted? That Muslims are committing the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the US and EU today? That's the truth.
Is it also a false narrative the most of the terror cell members inside of the US and EU are Muslims? No, that's the truth.
The only false narrative that is being painted is that radical Islam isn't the problem when it comes to terrorism inside the US and EU.
