As far as I am concerned there is no greater sacrifice that can be made than to put oneself between one's family/friends/country/kin and danger. I believe that is the ultimate sacrifice and I believe that makes that person (particularly those who give their lives for others in that way) worthy of being regarded as heroic.
I haven't read this thread but if it goes the way I suppose these things usually go I think it is naive to suggest that war doesn't solve problems ... if we hadn't fought the Nazi's/Japanese I suspect the world would be a very, very different place today (not least in the suspicion that I would not be alive).
