Someone already answered it. Military Industrial Complex. We need our military out there doing their primary mission; shoot, move, and communicate. We really don't care who they shoot at, as long as they use up beans and bullets.
Ever since WWII we've always had a war, had an enemy on the horizon, or had to protect "our interests abroad" in one way or another. Every day almost every media outlet is warning us about someone or something that is our next threat, to humanity, to freedom, to any buzz word that needs to be solved with beans and bullets. Our media always has an enemy waiting in the wings. Every day the press is full of horrible stories about the atrocities committed by our next enemy.
Lately it has been North Korea and Iran. (We keep hinting at China but can't afford to go that route yet.) It just makes it easier to sell when the time comes. (The time when our stockpiles of weapons start to grow and we need to put some down range.)
This is an election year. A few well placed attacks are always worth a few points in the polls. An invasion would seal the deal, instant re-election.
