Is your only definition of herosim that you be a soldier and be in the field?
That is their job. Heroism is when they go above and beyond the call of duty in dangerous situations.

Soldiers are hero's because they are giving their lives for this country - which is something that many regular folks won't do
Plus, if we are applying Merriam Webster's def. of a hero:
he·ro
Pronunciation: 'hir-(")O, 'hE-(")rO
b : an illustrious warrior c : a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities d : one that shows great courage
then her interpretation is appropriate.
Not to be picky, but goodness!
She was just giving a compliment.
