A war is only profitable in the first few years. The last time we had a big recession was during a long war. Its profitable in the short term because it sprouts new jobs. Once the military has all the new shit they need, the companies supporting them only need to sustain the products instead of the original supplying of, therefore lay offs occur and such and we start producing money at an alarming rate to pay for the war. This rapid production of money is what causes our dollar to go to shit which kills our economy
