The logic is simple. Most people will have twinges of faux morality when told that we are fighting for money and comfort. It's easier to cover the whole endeavor with "patriotism". Wave the flag and they will stand in line to support you. Wave the dollar bill and although inside, EVERYONE agrees and is rooting for you, they will outwardly pretend to be against the whole thing.
At the end of the day we all know that money and power secure the safety of our own lifestyle. That's really what we ALL care about now isn't it?
There's no disputing this, or the fact that while we may feel a slight bit of empathy for the little brown people we are murdering in foreign lands we still maintain the philosphy of: Better them than me.
Rightfully so.
It's all just evolution in action. Survival of the fittest.
