How wasteful, since the US hasn't been at war since 1947...

Should be the department of military policing actions.

Department of Bombing Non-white Children would be more correct.

I just want the civil war at this point. So much if my mental anguish would dissipate if I could just kill some Magats

When you imagine this, don't leave out the part where you slowly starve to death over months, sustaining yourself on rotten, maggot filled food, while watching a new one of your family's bodies get blown into a red paste with each passing day because I think a lot of people forget about that part of war when they day dream about this stuff.

If you have a chronic health condition, are particularly ill, or have a disability, good luck. You'll need it.

From the outside, how is that functionally different than now?

I think OP's point was more, "Let's just fucking get it over with, come what may." I have to admit, being a student of modern history, that may be the best option.
