If you look at the Greeks, Romans, Native Americans, English, Scandinavians, Arabs, Christians, Jews and even the French, most of their heroes throughout history have been soldiers who fought for their country/people. Odyssus, Caesar, King Arthur, King David, Gilgamesh and Beowulf are a few examples and I'm you can find others if you would ever take the time to read a book. A soldier who triumphs dispite a crippling wound would make any of these "classic" cultures weep for joy.
