I might agree that "someone" needs to "do something" in Uganda. However, it has not been demonstrated that this someone needs to be (or should be) the US or that the something needs to be our military.

I guess the older I get the more cold-hearted I get, but I still wonder what is there in Uganda that is worth a single American life?

American lives are kinda important to me. As a former military member, I understand that American military may need to die to support US national agendas. But I would have a hard time looking a soldier in the eye and say "you need to die for Uganda".
