There are some things you have to accept there are no realistic solutions for. I was born into a country at war for generations and it will last longer than me. Marijuana is my solution but I will be arrested for it. 
Not everything gets to happen in our lifetimes.

I have considered being a martyr. The media twist it though.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I know, geez. Why am I not self-centered enough to believe that all the important shit SHOULD happen in my lifetime?

I'm going to assassinate everyone involved until someone thinks that escaping to space is their only chance. Either way: won't be much of a war 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

A conflict of the scale and type as WW2 was in the 30-40's could be resolved in all of a few minutes today. The news would probably report on it in retrospect, as one side sent an occupation force to assert control over the rubble of the other. -If you're going to flirt with the worst of all possible scenarios at least run with it, swift and total annihilation-
