I think what makes these careers noble is the individual's willingness to put him/her self in danger for the good of others. They all fit into that category, don't they?

I can see that, the mobility of people (whether in the service or not) makes them think on a larger scale in terms of "home".
To the second point, if a police officer and soldier are equivalent or equally noble/brave, would a city blue collar worker (the street cleaner, for example) be equivalent to the cook at an Air Force base? Or is the Air Force cook more "noble"?
