The Taleban risk their lives, like the Army, they are technically brave, like the Army. So why is it that people say "soldiers are such heroes, risking their lives for their country", when surely, by that definition, the Taleban are heroes also

Because the Taliban are fighting to keep control - so they can continue to force their views and way of life on others! Soldiers are there to do their job - even if they don't agree with why they are there - they have a job to do and they do it - despite the risks! Brave men in my eyes!
