Trump says she will get us into war in Syria. Professor Kaiser, a Democrat, had said the same thing, some time ago....
Traditionally, politicians used to view a war as a unifying force, and a positive thing as a way to both get wealth and to gain social cohesion around a monarch or an empire or a society.
With modern warfare, with the notable exception of the advances of the Soviets as a result of WWI and WWII, this has not been the case since at least the 18th Century in warfare.
Colonial conflict is different, not great power warfare as such, although they had their colonial skirmishes.
