I don't mean why rulers or generals go to war. I mean, throughout History why did the anonymous foot soldier confront horror in the battlefield, when sometimes casus belli was not his business.

Duty and honor. Pride in believing your Commander was right. The saying " Ours is not to question why ours is but to do or die"
A solider or warrior - a brave man or woman - Chivalry - knighthood - to be a hero - To have a meaning for life - A reason for being - this I know is a philosophical question - and difficult to answer but I tried. Yet having been there and witnessing its aftermath and the madness one is still left with the question.

Well i believe every person has their reasons, and i am sure that everyone would be willing to fight in a war if it ment protecting their family and their property. Personally I would fight in battle because This country gives people the freedom that otherwise we wouldnt have. If no one chooses to defend this country what would become of us?

They did so, and continue to do so today, out of a sense of duty and honor. In a very real sense, we are ALL worker bees who should be willing to sacrifice ourselves for the hive. That might be a very unpopular sentiment today, but it remains true. The sad fact that so few believe it seems to me an indication of the impending demise of our country as well as the West as we know it.

Most people feel a strong obligation to their country and will serve to protect it, if called upon.

Today I think alot of soldiers fight battles simply because that is their job. That is what they are paid and trained to do so they do it.
