If you understand that this is how the world works, you'd be crazy to go in the army. There is no higher cause, you are cannon fodder for the pockets of politicians and companies, simple as that. They couldn't care less about your life.

When did soldiers ever decide where to go to war? Soldiers do what the commanders tell them to. Its no different today than it ever has been. In the past, Kings conquered other lands in order to grow their empires and lay taxation to more people, making themselves richer and richer.
Tell me how it is different now.
