I only like to read military history. Memoirs, operational and campaign based descriptive texts, unit histories, first hand accounts of soldiers etc.

I feel like I'm missing out though on the philosophy, classics and thought changing books, but I just can't bring myself to start, I feel like I'm gonna be incredibly bored by them.

How do I convince myself to finally read them and expand my mind?

Start with the greeks, every greek author served in the military.

I somehow doubt that but ok, everyone says start with the greeks.

Is the image on the wiki still valid?

I guess there's no other way than to force oneself.

Serving in the military was compulsory for all citizens and there was constant conflict between the polis.
Start with Homer and Hesiod, since you like militar history you should then move on to Herodotus' Histories, Thucydides' History of the Peloponessian War and Xenophon's Helenics.
After that you can read whatever greek author you want to.

Thanks. Copying this post for later.

Maybe try going towards military fiction, then that can lead to more general fiction with military components, then to the classics.

Maybe you've missed a few war-related books you ought to have read:
JFC Fuller's works, for starters.
Roger Trinquier's book on modern warfare.
Jünger's memoirs and works.
Christian de La Mazière's Ashes of Honour/The Captive Dreamer.
Sven Hassel's novels, of course, too.

just start dammit, if you don't you never will
