Default Help for Heros?



http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19112550




I wonder as lots of group members seem to be involved with fund-raising for "Help for Heros", if anyone can explain why they dont appear to be doing what their given name suggests?




What is heroic about invading a foreign country and killing its people?

Where are the songs of Summer?--With the sun,

Oping the dusky eyelids of the south,

Till shade and silence waken up as one,

And morning sings with a warm odorous mouth.


I had difficulty working that out too.........not one of the countries recently invaded by UK forces posed any sort of threat to our security, so one wonders why exactly the attacks were carried out in the first place?
