    They died in service to their country, most of the teachers and nurses did not. Some of those wars were even just.

      Also I want to add even if you believe that those soldiers were victims of propaganda, they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

      I lay the blame for why they died at the feet of the men and women responsible for their deployments, not at the feet of those who died believing in something bigger than themselves.
