He wanted his soldiers to live and kill the enemy, so why this dumb crap about dieing for your country?

Yes. That's right. Make the enemy the hero by killing him and not you being killed and made a hero!

Its true if you die for your country then how could you win a war. War is not won by dying for your country but by killing the enemy for his country.

Yes and people never truly volunteer to die for their country. Some people are willing to do things that can get them killed in defending their country/empire. Most wars are a farce.
