I think there's a bit of misplaced patriotism that makes people feel like the lives of their country are more important than the lives of people in another country.
There's also the fact that the soldiers that are dying in the wars aren't the ones who decided to start the war.
It's especially true during times that the draft is active that the soldiers are just as much victims of war as anyone else.

Really, the truth. People can either choose humanity or they can be patriotic; sadly, most choose patriotism, and that too is false and misguided.
Agreed, it's not the soldiers' fault they're just following stupid orders, like they're machines made by warmongers who don’t care about the consequences or they don't give a fuck despite knowing the consequences.
