This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's not a trick question. It's obviously referring to a war on the scale of WW2. A total war that requires major government intervention in the economy and everyday life. That's why it says "full scale war," not merely "war." The last full-scale war we had was WW2.
