The trouble is that the US military has suffered too many humiliating defeats. People are losing their fear of it.
Remember that the US left Lebanon in defeat. It completely lost in Afghanistan. The side it's backing in Ukraine is losing badly, and the Pentagon recently said that supplying weapons to Zelensky is "reaching the end of its rope."
So the US doesn't look as invincible as it maybe once did. If Israel was beaten and the US humiliated again, the news would just shift its focus to some other crisis (probably China) and people would get all gung ho about the next thing.
I get you, the current government needs a war it can win, even if the enemy was a militia stranded in a strip of land. After all, Biden is in it to make the headlines back home,
