And I only wished to come home with a few bullet wounds, too. I got my wish.

Good question. As the war on terror has evolved, it has become apparent that the only way to turn the tide is to destroy the military complexes of Iran and Syria. Make them worry about rebuilding their own defenses instead of meddling in Lebanon, etc. Blow up their entire air forces and see how much money and how many missiles continue to flow to Hamas and the Hezbos!
