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.

Exactly! Soldiers deserve no honour. Being a mindless indoctrinated sheep who kills other people - simply because his commander or religion told him to do so. Killing innocent people in order to enrich his own corrupt leaders. Using force to prevent his own leaders from being held accountable for their crimes. Participate in bullying the rest of the world, steal the natural resources, suppress populations (own + foreign) and keep them as slaves.
The guy holding the gun is just as much part of the problem - as the criminal who orders him to pull the trigger.
Since when has it been respected to work for the Mafia - which the military ultimately is?
