Realistically, the billions of dollars being pumped into the war every month, has to have an effect on the economy. Most of that money is staying in the country going to suppliers and contractors.
I agree that it's not nearly as powerful as the markets that see $35 billion spent on pets alone, or $55 billion on booze.

Of course the war tab might have a much different effect when the bill comes due, but that's for you youngsters to worry about. :p
