The writings from Josephus aren't very credible, from what I've heard.
People love to die for their special causes. It makes them feel special and valued. The only people who really hate the idea of dying for a cause are the creeps who get other people to do the dying. If modern politicians had to go out on combat patrols where they had to risk their own life and limbs they wouldn't be so eager to go to war. But they can easily persuade some stupid teen to suit up and go get killed or crippled for the "cause".
