Maybe it was if we owe everyone money, they're less likely to attack us.

US $ is based on debt. Debt needs to be increased to increase the amount dollars in circulation (decreasing the value of those currently out there). Easiest thing to go into debt for is war. Military industrial gets to use the newly created dollars first, before the inflation resulting in the practice kicks in. Yehaa
