You're also (under 3G) somewhat likely to even have a little disposable income after a couple of Armageddons, whereas most other people will already be solidly in deficit. Sure if they do 5-6 you'll certainly be in the hole as well - but your population will still be proportionately higher, providing more supplies for your existing troops, and allowing more robust Blood hunting in the aftermath.
