Higher tax rates make sense if we're planning on engaging on an occupation or a conventional war (like Iraq). Lately, military conflicts have only needed a few airstrikes and/or arming and training proxy troops, and I see no reason to raise taxes in those situations unless they become more expensive; it's just not the same level of commitment.
taxes should go up during any military action. this will make us think twice about entering a war.
