I think you're still a bit touchy on just what we mean by that, I don't think most of us 'honor' them in the way you'd assume. Chill out. None of us are building a cult of U-boat worship, I think

I'll put it this way - I'll respect any good soldier, not because of what they fight for, but in a pure sense of military honour. It's an idea that's been around since the most ancient times you know, doesn't even have to be humanist in the sense that I take it.

At the same time, if by some chance I lived in World War II, and I ended up near a U-boat with some potent weapon? You bet I'd be trying to sink it.
