The government is buying goods and services for the war. People (mostly Americans) are getting paid for them. So the net effect is basically that some people are getting money at some rate of efficiency that would otherwise be spent on some other stuff/services with some other people. Net effect: not much. Effect on individuals: purley a matter of perspective. Now, ask me if I think the money spent on the war is a waste and should be used elsewhere and you'll get a different flavored answer. But I don't blame war spending for the issues our economy is having. You can thank overall piss-poor management by this Administration for that.
