It's true, the media and especially videogames are empahising that war is 'cool' . But how many people really believe that ?
A lot of people in Iraq signed up before the war, they are probably all very willing to fight for their country, but quite a few are likely to feel that running around in the desert isn't exactly for the good of the country. It's not like Iraq ever attacked the US (silly conspiracy theories aside).
That said, I think quite a few people have signed up after the war started, there are quite a few people who are willing to die for their country in some god forsaken desert.
I don't understand them, but it's their choice.
