Soldiers are a "solution" to a problem they themselves cause.
If there were no soldiers, we wouldn't need any either.
So any person who wants to become a soldier is just a fool. There are of course those who have no choice, but the ones who do and still chose that life definitely are idiots.

Or they're desperate. I can't speak for other countries, but in the U.S., if you grow up in poverty, the military is one of the only ways out. Especially if you don't have the academics or athletic talent to earn a really good scholarship.
It sucks.
I don't know about you, but my country borders Russia. What do you suggest I do when the first tanks roll across the border, the first glide-bombs start raining down on the city, and the first occupiers come to take my father, mother, sister and girlfriend for "interrogation" in a cellar? I could choose to run away.
