They fought fascists.

They fought a threat from the Chinese in korea (perceived or real...they fought for democracy)

They showed us the folly of sending poor kids to fight a war for rich people interests from France and the US in Vietnam.

They died all over the Middle East trying to protect our country even if leadership was not targeting the real power and money behind the threats.

It's not a partisan thing.
