I'm not being desrespectful to anyone who fought in the 2 world wars, just I think it's rather unfair to just focus on those wars and those who died in them, and not others.

Well, there's a reason why the both wars are called 1st and 2nd WORLD war - because there were none before them! With their global involvement, their millions of deads and their unprecedented massive cruelty of mankind, with all that and much more, they are the symbols that each and every war is evil.
It's not about being unfair to victims in former wars, quite the contrary.
