The sentiment is correct even if the grammar and syntax are not.

Post war peace is an great intensifier for rebuilding, research, improving and further rearmament to prevent future wars.
Prolonged peace however, leads to over population, unemployment, idleness, a weakened populace and a sense of public entitlement, the trivial becomes important, the important becomes an inconvenience that inevitably leads to recession and inflation.

War is an excellent remedy for recession.

Industry thrives in war time, demand for produces goes up, demand for industrial improvement becomes a necessity, the longer the war, the greater the demand, the larger the army the less unemployment.

Capitalism not only thrives on war, it makes it a necessary part of the cycle boom and bust (no pun intended), it thins the herd, strengthens the stock, improves the gene pool and grows the economy.

Actually this can easily be proven wrong. One of the most difficult tasks ever accomplished by humans was done during peace time, that is, the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Idleness and sloth are not necessarily a consequence of peacetime. Had the clowns in Washington decided to rebuild our infrastructure, invest in the space program, in science, education, we would not have this problem . . . the problem is NOT peace, it is idiots who have no sense of purpose other than to make money at all cost and commit mass murder all for the sake of the dollar. But any argument, including the aforementioned, that fails to mention statistics in the light of the presence of nuclear weapons is trivial. This is one genie that, no matter how certain all the idiots are, is going to come out of the bottle sooner or later . . . it has statistics on its side. Prior to WWI, people were convinced that because machine guns had been invented, and were so deadly, the possibility of another war was nil. But then it happened, and, they ended up using even far more deadly weapons . . . . poison gasses, etc. The same thing in general happened before WWII, they started out with powerful weapons and ended with much more powerful weapons . . . atomic weapons. WWIII will be no different, and we know what that means. Those who advocate for war are not only digging theirs and their children's graves . . . . they are digging humanity's grave. Ever wonder why Elon Musk wants to go to Mars? Given the statistics, all of the war mongers, along with all of humanity itself, will be carbonized by nuclear weapons, and when the earth recovers, with humans no longer on it, it will be much better off.

@THHA Apart from the fact that you obviously know nothing about Egyptology, you've basically spent a lot of effort in saying I am wrong and then violently agreeing with me.

Apart from the fact that you provide no evidence whatsoever to controvert what I said, saying someone is "violently agreeing" with you is like saying they "benevolently shoot" you.
