Yes, I think the original message was addressing Americans saying that the GIs are the ones who are willing to die their freedom - when you take it out of the US context and it starts to travel the world it could do with a little appendix to add reference to all those others. I don't think the original intention was to imply that only Americans save the whole world and the soldiers from other countries are not as dedicated. It's just unfortunate that it comes across like that.
