Well I think Americans have fought many wars on foreign soil and the people that live there always have more to gain or lose than our soldiers.
It also seems to me that those willing to make sacrifices (become heroes) fighting for their homeland is an easier decision to make than those who are there to help them.
Neither group deserves to be judged less heroic than the other but our soldiers are there risking their lives for someone elses freedom. Most of them would rather be home with their wives and husbands, etc... I don't see how you can you assign their heroism to less status than the people they are there to help.
