Why? Who said "What this country needs is a good little wa"?

Google says The phrase often associated with that sentiment is "I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one," which was written by Theodore Roosevelt in 1897. History.com At the time, Roosevelt was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and a staunch supporter of American expansionism, expressing a desire for war to test the nation's mettle. Related Quote: John Hay, who served as Secretary of State under President McKinley, famously described the subsequent Spanish-American War (1898) in a letter to Roosevelt as "a splendid little war". Office of the Historian (.gov) Context: These quotes reflect the pro-war sentiment held by several American leaders in the late 1890s, aimed at establishing the United States as a global power. I say it is a matter of economics. War creates jobs and money. There is currently a bill to spend 200 Billion dollars on the Iran war. Of course in the end there is great loss of lives.

Why? Why are people questioning The Kansas State University new coaches?
