There were soldiers in the military when 9/11 happened. They didn't get a chance to choose whether they thought the cause was "right" or not. They were going to war, regardless.
A Soldier is a Soldier. The epitome of "Action over Words".

That’s right, but if you decide to join the Army you have to be prepared to face the consequences it may lead to, because no one can tell how things will eventually turn out.
Soldiers knew long before the Iraq War broke out that they might be sent to war sometime in the future.
Military men nowadays are not like they used to be. I’m sorry to say -.- Those who are currently fighting in Iraq are nothing like the ones who fought back in WWII. Now it’s all different motives… it doesn’t mean they deserve no admiration whatsoever (killing isn't something anyone can do ^^) and shouldn’t be given whatever recognition they want to get from whomever, but if they were to stand up for the rights of their people (which is what they are meant to fight for, right?), they wouldn't care what situations they get put into, they would go to war no matter what because they supposably believe in what they are doing and think there is a justified reason for it.
Ps. And in case you were wondering, I'm the biiiiggest war-movies geek out there, and I take much pride in it xD
