Do you think wars happen, because the soldiers like to murder?

They do choose to murder.

I agree. But that doesn't negate my point that the decision to go to war in the vast majority of cases isn't made by the broad population, but by a minority that has little to lose and much to gain (compared to the soldiers on the battlefield).
