All wars have causes. Some wars are fought for political reasons. Some are fought for moral ones. Religious wars have been raging for thousands of years in some parts of the world. No matter the case, these wars have people fighting and dying for these causes. Obviously, in a perfect world soldiers would fully buy in to whatever cause they are fighting for. However, that is not always the case. For example, in the Civil War many Union soldiers were behind fighting the South to preserve the Union. When the focus of the Civil War changed to liberating the slaves after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, some of these soldiers weren't as content to fight for that cause.
Questions to Consider:
What if your country fought for something you did not believe in? What if you were drafted, and were forced to fight for this cause? How good of a chance does a country have in winning a war that its soldiers do not buy into?
