but so many Americans care more about bombing missions half a world away.

In my case, not really more. I would say, in addition to. We have troops in country that face IED’s on a daily basis. One less turdball making them, makes the strike a worthwhile endeavor in my book.
But I can understand your p.o.v.

If life in America were great, I maybe could understand the neocon obsession with what’s wrong with other countries that we need to go in and fix. But so much needs fixing here at home that we don’t have the luxury to be invading and trying to remake other countries. Or at least we shouldn’t have that luxury, because has diverted us from fixing the “homeland” and it’s people - and securing our borders, which is the first element of any sane “national defense” program.
