What about the Muslims they're fighting for?

What doesn't seem to occur to the detractors of these soldiers is that they are fighting for other Muslims. Afghanistan has a Muslim government. So does Iraq. The terrorists are killing fellow Muslims. But at least America (and Australia) are doing their best to protect them.

The only conclusion must be that they think that merely being a non-Muslim makes your cause wrong - even if you are defending Muslims.
