I can't say for others but I appreciated the soldiers defending the borders more after watching this episode. It truly is a thankless job, stationing in the middle of nowhere away from their families and comfortable life as the shield of a nation. Hardly anyone even pay attention to them but the comfortable lives that we're taking for granted every single day only exist because they are there

To your question:
Drachma is a big country to the north of Amestris.
If I remember correctly, they told us in the anime that they currently have a peace treaty with Amestris, but it's rather shaky and they're mainly not attacking because the defenses of Fort Briggs are to well.
As to why they'd want to attack Amestris I don't think we've been given any explanaitons so far....though to me it always felt like the usual human greed for land and power, without any particular reason.
But if I've missed something there/ there were additional informations in the manga, I'd gladly be corrected!
