And where is the money from the war going? Back into our economy. This money was previously sitting in a slush fund doing nothing. Putting that money into our economy is good, it gives money to businesses, who give it to their workers who spend it on goods. The big part of the problem is many of these goods are now made overseas, so it doesn't stay here as long as it did in the past. A war is basically using tax dollars to supplement the economy, this is obviously just economically speaking. The more the money in the US gets turned over the better, that means not sitting on money in savings, etc.
