I wouldn't go that far, there is quite a disparity, between an individual that happens to be born in a country that opposes the USA in a war, and may have been drafted into military service during wartime. VS. a terrorist like the ones involved in 911 who were voluntary participants, in a plot to launch an unprovoked attack on civilians.
I have a lot more respect for the WW2 era Japanese, than the current day Islamic radicals. You have to remember that a lot of these guys were just average people who happened to be born in Japan, and were drafted into their countries military. Their courage not to surrender, and to persevere was impressive, and I think that most modern military men would agree with that sentiment. There can be a mutual respect among opponents. With that being said their cause was obviously not justifiable, that's not what I'm saying!
