Not too far into the future Carl, if history is a guide, the elite will be coercing us to buy war bonds to pay Halliburton to make weapons with which our conscripted children will kill the children of another country. Sounds far fetched until you look at what happened in the 1930's - very easy for a leader to redirect the anger of the impoverished toward an imagined external (or internal) threat. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Although, looking on the bright side, war does promote development of technologies that may have applications in space exploration.
