Sephiroth was born to Shinra and raised by them. Originally they thought he was a hybrid Cetra who could lead them to an energy-rich "Promised Land" but when he never developed Cetra powers and DID develop numerous other ridiculous powers they started raising him as part of their military. Canonically Seph was a front line fighter before he was ten years old. He was not raised to question orders or think much about why he did things. This DID change later, when he had to fight Elfe, the leader of AVALANCHE. She asked him why he fought and he didn't have an answer and that troubled him. After this he ostensibly decided his reason for fighting was to protect his friends but, well, right after that Crisis Core happened and he lost his friends. Then he lost his mind in the Nibelheim Incident. In other words, he didn't think about who he fought or why until relatively late in his career, around the time the Wutai War was already wrapping up.
