I'm not convinced that what the US does or doesn't do now will have any impact on Muslim extremists' desire for revenge against Israel, the US, and the West. That ship sailed a long time ago. They seem to be in permanent revenge mode.

This is going to get nasty really fast until defensive technology catches up a lot of really expensive targets are very vulnerable.

That being said all you really need to do is install defensive netting at bases. You don’t even need hangers so relatively inexpensive retrofit. That will probably cause drones to shift to dropped minions but at least those are less accurate.
