It was different in past wars because the manufacturing base within the US were able to really crank it out. This is how money is made during wars -- by providing war-necessary materials to those who are unable to produce their own.
Today, the US is financing, producing and using the materials needed to wage war, hense, the TWO TRILLION+ dollar debt for the Iraq war. Another war, especially long-term using this business model would be disastrous.
Money is made by selling weapons of war, not by using at a break-neck pace.
