We could study this, right? Simply ask soldiers what the their combat experience was like and also what they think about nations starting wars, and see if there's a relationship between how much they've been exposed to the "horrors of war" however you define it and how they feel about war in general.
I'm saying convincing the people that war is bad doesn't stop wars. For example at the start of WWII the German people were not enthusiastic about starting another war. That was not enough to stop it.
