"There is no profit in fighting cave dwelling extremists who want to make sure girls don't go to school"

Unless you are making bullets, guns, body armor, etc. Never underestimate the US government's ability to do seemingly pointless things just to prop up certain businesses. We see that very same pattern of behavior elsewhere in the government; what makes you think the military is exempt?

Over 3000 dead is more than enough motivation, no petty political payoffs are needed to support going after suicidal fascists. Occam's razor.

Thus explaining the lack of military response in the "friendly" countries where those terrorists had been hiding, training, and collecting their money, and the continued military effort elsewhere that is directed at people who were not involved with the attack.

You are confused why we don't respond militarily to friendly countries? Ok.
