Soldiers are meant to defend the freedoms of the people they serve. It's the politicians to blame for lying and manipulating the people, deceiving them to send soldiers to kill innocents in the "defense of freedom". The politicians lie to further their own agendas, and their lies cause the death of countless people.
Most people all over the world, in the East or the West, don't want to fight or kill or die - they just want to live their own lives. The last thing most soldiers want is a war.
Unfortunately, the politicians and those in power don't see thing's that way because they don't get blood on their hands. They don't have their homes destroyed by invading foreigners, nor are they sent to fight and die in a desert full of people who hate them for a war they don't understand.
The poor die first and the rich and powerful drink the blood that flows, but their thirst is never quenched.
In war, the first casualty is innocence. Whether it's a soldier that shoots a helpless civilian or the bomber who kills himself and innocent bystanders around him. Human beings who are otherwise decent people are manipulated and turned into killing machines and monsters - just to appease those who live in ivory towers and glass houses.
