typically throughout history, when the gov't treads in these grey areas during times of war, when peace resumes, they exit the grey area.

Provide evidence for your claim.

"Provide evidence for your claim."

Well, it wasn't my claim but just for the heck of it I gave it about 30 seconds thought and came up with these"

WW II: Internment of Japanese and German aliens, discontinued after the war. Wage and price controls, rationing of basic commodities by government order, discontinued after the war. Conversion of private property in the form of industrial plants, into war production, discontinued after the war. Censorship of journalist reports, meaning REAL censorship, with a black pen, discontinued after the war. Servicemen's mail opened and censored for sensitive information, discontinued after the war.

VietNam War: As soon as the end of the war was in sight, the military Draft was ended.

No doubt there are many more examples, but I quickly found the exercise pointless and tedious so I quit. However, I encourage you to go educate yourself on the rudiments of American history, and find a few examples of your own.
