This is the same as every smart, humane army that has the financial ability to do so. They pay the people who fight for them. They take care of the families of the soldiers who die. American soldiers get the same benefits, as do Israeli soldiers. I think it was the Romans who first realized that taking good care of your troops is in the interest of the rulers. Most successful armies throughout history ever since have done so.
