That's a good point. But, I would bet, if it came to that, we'd become ridiculously "protectionist" and cut off a large amount of trade. So, we'd produce things domestically.

Additionally, our military is more of a "information" military than it ever has been, so, I could see that "service" aspect playing a role as well.

Not saying any of us want this to occur, I'm just responding with something that may.... if this scenario ever unfolded.

I've hear "That president is going to war to stimulate the economy," quite a few times over my lifetime. It's a blanket statement so many of us use to find fault or give praise for war. However, as it obviously hasn't worked in this case I don't expect to hear that cliched statement during the next new war whenever that will be. The reasoning probably won't be so obvious.
