Another point to note is that military people save civilians not just in wars but also in natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes etc etc.
So yes, military is about keeping things in order in many ways.
There isn't any one answer to your question. Personally, I do not believe that the people who are in military should all be expected to be truly caring people. But the authorization and creation of military by governments may be for protecting the citizens. It still doesn't mean military is inherently good. For example, the USA attacks poorer countries for no great reason. It turned Iraq into a living graveyard. Is that a good thing? Nope. But at the same time is military only supposed to be for aggressive wars? No. They can also defend us. They can also save our lives when natural calamity hits us or when a war is forced on us.
But individual military personnel join military for various reasons. For some it could be easy to get into military because they have good physique. Some may like the lifestyle and so they join military. Some actually do care about people and for that very reason join the military. So the thing is that each individual in military is different just like in other professions. There can be accountants who are cheaters and there can be accountants who are very ethical. Some of the military people may have joined military because they care about people. But just because some didn't join military because they care about people still doesn't make them uncaring people. They will simply be doing their jobs when time calls them to do their job.
