I think that help for heroes is a worthy organisation
There are problems though.

They represent a backlash caused by the idea that the Iraq invasion and Afganistan war were both polically unjustiifed. HfH helps to separate the responsibility for the polical war from the young people fighting it. These actions look to us now as wars of aggression rather than wars of defence. Nobody needed to tell servicemen they were heroes in the world wars, it was very obvious. But now, they feel like polical pawns to be sacrificed in the name of some eventual victory. A bit of heroicness is needed to keep them fighting.

Not sure I have a point here. I would rather those serving me and my country were back here causing drunken fights in Devizes and Colchester rather than being shot at by a bunch of ungrateful rag heads. HfH lets me be ashamed of my political masters, yet still respect those caught up in a pile of shit we should not be in.

Ungrateful rag-heads, eh?
Sadly, your racism is incredibly unoriginally expressed, so I can only give you six marks out of a possible 10.

EDIT: Nor am I sure that your point about heroism in the World Wars stands. Some people might have done some heroic things, and defeating Nazism might well have been an unimpeachable motive. But most of the conscripts were just boringly normal people who'd much preferred to have been at home.

It was delibrately chosen
To show frustration with this extremely unclearcut situation. I'm more than content to let countries get on with there own business. I like less the export of drugs and terrorism to my country though. It is unreasonable too, for us to wish to convert any people to some cardigan wearing, pipe smoking utopia as defined by us, but I also think that a bit of human rights in other countries wouldn't go amiss.

Sadly, I do not require you to score my work, but feel free to do so if you wish.

EDIT: I repost your Edit with this. You are quite right about the world war stuff, but only to a point. The winners of medals very rarely declare themselves worthy of an award, and certainly do not declare themeselves to be heroes, or even brave. These are epithets for us to bestow on them, with honour.
