Yes, they definitely count. They gave their lives to save lives and each fallen soldier deserves all the regard as the individual who died fighting Hitler.

Having said that, it doesn't make the Iraq war as big and brutal as Rwanda. We agree 'one is too many',
but,
we do need to have the overall war in perspective. You would have more consideration for 100,000 soldiers into a full-on war with China. You wouldn't say 'Oh its the same thing'.
Its not.
One is massive and the other is much less massive.
