Wars were preventing overgrowing of populations before. Now technology, peaceful era causing overpopulation of homo-sapiens which is really big problem. Thus I think what you suggest makes sense. Also it will give some people reason to live, distraction, some glory.

Most people were dying from disease (esp in infancy) for most of history, not sure having another war will help there. And I can't tell what's more horrifying, suggesting that we should start some more wars to kill people or suggesting that we should bring back some plagues.

Also while I agree that it's harder to find glory in modern times, and there definitely should be a better outlet for that need, I think war has changed so significantly due to technological advances that people wouldn't find much glory lobbing bombs from a UAV piloting center.

The days of finding glory on the battlefield are probably as distant as the days of 90% of people working as farmers to produce food for themselves.
