Biofuels are already being used for airplanes: Aviation biofuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Since kerosene is similar to jet fuel is similar to diesel, it's relatively easy to run a jet on biofuels

Electric airplanes are also being researched: Electric aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Most armored vehicle engines are already Diesel and will run on a variety of source fuels, so running them on biodiesel is not an issue. They are also researching hybrids: The Army's first hybrid tank

So (sadly), no worries about wars ending.
