There most definately is. The concept makes perfect sense and I imagine leaders have been using it for thousands and thousands of years.

The Nazis certainly weren't the first to use those tacticts against their people. And I'd say you're right about the jobs for soldiers. But hey, life would be boring without war, wouldn't it? John Wayne would have had to stick to westerns.

There's a sort of perverted sense to what he says, isn't there?

Well articulated by Goering, he gets credit for that, but...
he certainly didn't invent this gambit. It's standard, age-old procedure. Politics is war. As long as there are countries, nations and flags, there'll be plenty of jobs for soldiers.
