If you're not anti-war then you're neither fiscally conservative nor pro-life

I suppose this all really depends on whatever context you are using. I can think of tons of examples throughout history were going to war was the financially smart thing to do. Some countries are still living of centuries of plunder and loot taken from other places.

I could also give you a few examples where going to war was done in the name of preserving life. all to do with context.
