I&#x27;ve heard this many times before and I&#x27;ve even been taught this in history class. What is the reason for this?<p>The explanation is often that it stimulates the economy, but really, is war effective at fixing the economy because it just acts as a giant reset button? If there&#x27;s too many workers and not enough job, the easiest way to fix that problem is to kill X% of the population, and what better easier and cleaner way to sell this to the American people than your country is under attack and it needs your sacrifice?
