There hasn't been a war remotely like that in half a century, and given the current geo-political state, there isn't likely to be a war like that for the rest of our lifetimes.
A war is not "right" when Nation A goads Nation B into attacking and then claims it's only defending itself.
John the Baptist was probably talking to Jewish temple guards rather than Roman legionaries.
The normal pay of Roman legionaries in occupied territories was what they extorted from the oppressed locals. The only way a Roman legionary could follow John's advice was to desert the military.
