No, sad to say veterans picked most of the fights. Respect someone who goes and kills innocent people just because their country said they should? Someone who doesn't think independently? Someone who fights to push their ways on people that don't want them by killing everyone who disagrees?
By your logic we should respect all soldiers, including the Taliban soldiers, Nazi soldiers and Iraqi soldiers. Do you respect Nazi soldiers? Do you respect the Al Qaeda soldiers who flew planes into the Twin Towers? After all, they put their lives on the line for what they believed was right.
