Some wars just make the elite rich. These two are prime examples.

Wars that make the elite rich also create a lot of jobs. Since we don't allow looting anymore, in order to get rich from a job a person needs to own a company that provides vital goods or services to the war effort. It is at least partially taxpayer money, but it is essentially the more effective equivalent of a government make-work program.
