We’re living in the most technologically advanced time in human history and most of that technology is used for destructive purposes. War is one them.

It’s hard to estimate how many soldiers there are in the world (also because not everyone in the military is counted as a soldier). The official number of soldiers worldwide is around 70 million, but with paramilitary (that's non-official but still they are armies) we’re definitely talking over 100 million.
Over 100 million killed in the 20th century alone: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_by_death_toll
