Historically speaking, wars have always been a great way for leaders to distract their populations and make them overlook poor or deteriorating domestic situations. Large scale wars are also a major boost to a nations economy (reduced labor availablity drives up wages) and generate industrial production requirements that cannot be satisfied by outsourcing due to security concerns. It also provides political cover to supress domestic resistance to government policies and to trample the rights of the citizenry in the name of "national security".

Remember, Hitler rose to power in an economically devastated Germany that was but a shadow of its former self. Recreating those circumstances in a freeper dominated United States IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
