I think the alluring premise that one side or another in a conflict will simply collapse on the battlefield or at home because they are soft, luxury-loving, incapable of adapting, or alienated from their government has often proven to be a dangerous case of wishful thinking in historical terms.
To put it another way. If seriously planning for a war I wouldn't really pay much heed to what effect a tampon shortage or a regular TV broadcast interruption will have on the enemy. There are too many far more important things. (like the decision to go to war in the first place)
