I think he will, if only because we won't be able to afford it anymore.
I think it's also a bit different, because wars don't actually affect many people. When people become war weary nowadays it's because it's a bummer to hear about wars, but very few people are actually off fighting or have an immediate family member who is deployed overseas. The rest of the population just wants to distract itself with iPhones or American Idol or whatever. But people have a great deal less patience with economic failure for obvious reasons.
