You can't wage war unless you have a good way to rob the people blind. Inflation, for example, is a great way to rob people blind, if you are a government.

This kind of hilarious flattening of the history of the politics of war and how the state gets the populace to invest in it to just "They inflated currency and that meant they could just buy whatever they wanted" speaks for itself really

Yes, you can enslave people rather than paying them. But the people you enslave would be well advised to kill the draft boards instead of the "enemy" which never harmed them.

Why is it a better idea to go kill strangers who never harmed you than to kill the people who are trying to enslave you and force you to kill strangers who never harmed you?

It's better to die a hero than die a goat who murders out of cowardice.
