There were LOTS of military strategies and actions in WWII. Some include D-Day, atomic bombings of Japan, island warfare in the Pacific, and loads more. You could write an entire book on the question.
We really got involved in the war after Pearl Harbor, which I'm sure you're learning about already. Things were brewing globally for about a decade until we got involved, and when we jumped in there was a lot of things to get done. D-Day was a risky decision and many great soldier died for a global freedom. I think this should be praised. That's only my opinion though.
The Pacific warfare was a little more debated because it was a different strategy. In Europe, there was a lot of land warfare (tanks, foot soldiers, etc), but in the Pacific, there was naval, and air war, which was somewhat harder to map out. The biggest criticism in the pacific though was the dropping of the atomic bombs. The options were either a full scale land invasion of the Japanese homeland which would take a long time and cost both sides thousands of lives, similar to something like the beaches of Normandy of D-Day, or swiftly end the conflict by dropping the atomic bombs.
Ultimately, it's YOUR opinion that your teacher wants. I just wanted to help out a little. History and WWII are fun topics. I hope you discover that.

=It can be perceived in two ways, as a moral, to honour someone, e.g God or to be honoured is something 'glorious' and somewhat of moral value as well, e.g. to be honoured for doing something good, which is also based on moral [values].==In terms of it being a value, the amount of honour you get can stand as a value.
