However, an automatic 25% tax with no loopholes across the board for anyone making over $1,000,000 a year anytime any US troops are deployed for any military action would go a long way to making the contemplation of warfare a bit more challenging.

we have a volunteer military right now. If warmongers had skin in the game, it would take the reinstitution of the draft, and very few liberals would agree to that. So we will slog on with the jobs service that is run by the military in a society that will not educate children for peacetime industries or hire them.
