Memorial Day: Top Ten Comic Book War Heroes

Memorial Day is a day when America honors the fallen members of its armed forces. In honor of Memorial Day, Comicbook.com decided to take a look at some of the greatest war heroes in comic books. While most of the members of this top ten list of comic book war heroes fought for the red, while, and blue, a couple of them might prove controversial, because they were fighting on the wrong side of history.In addition to individual warriors, we also included a couple of elite fighting teams. One thing that is fairly consist about war heroes is that most of them wind up dead. Unlike superheroes who just get their origins updated every decade or so, war heroes are usually tied to a specific war and time in history. While there have been some attempts to re-vamp war heroes into other eras, most of them remain best known for their particular wars. War heroes typically die in their wars, and only occasionally live into modern eras. Unless of course, they take an Infinity Serum or get frozen in a block of ice.
