Dying in war = hero?

[Nebulous]

If a soldier dies fighting for his or her country, are they automatically a hero?

Why or why not?

Throughout the years of me growing up and being around a family who tend to pay a lot of respect to those who fight for our freedom and country I have always known these kinds of people to be heroes and that is because they made a sacrifice to protect our rights, country, and freedom. Anyone who is willing to put themselves in that kind of danger to help us is definitely a hero in my eyes and to me, will always be seen as one. It's the ones who go to war just because their leader said so with no motive for doing so that I would not class as heroes but more cruel people.

Not to disrespect the dead but I don't really think so (but it also depends on the circumstance and what they were fighting for). There has been many battles our country has fought that I disagreed with in the first place. We go sticking our nose in the rest of the world's business and getting our people killed for no good reason. Think of all the families that would still be whole if we didn't send our troops to go fight over some dumb political reason or just because the president at the time felt like flexing his muscles.

I think it is an hero despite it is dead on war or not dead because it is very important to defend its country against any actions like this and it becomes a valuable person in society.

The fact that a person enrolled himself in the Army, Navy or Airforce itself makes him or her a hero as they have placed their country's sovereignty above their own life. A soldier is always a hero ....in life and in death.

What you think is reasonable but the teenagers of nowadays doesn't like being engaged on Army either boys or girls and also invent new methods for the policeman doesn't engage them in Army when the duration of engaging teenagers in Army becomes.

Depends on the situation in which the soldier died. If he was blown up by his own grenade, then he can hardly be called a hero.
