I think I get what you mean, but your wording is just slightly off.
The Fallacy: That anybody was a noble actor.
Your wording makes it sound like there's a wrong-headed perception that war is not noble, and that the correction to the fallacy is to find ALL participants VERY noble, valiant and in high regard.
Then, your next sentences:
It was all self-serving. It's often held up as a just war.
These clarify what you meant to say, and contradict the preceeding statements.
The words "fallacy" and "nobody" inadvertently constitute a double negative.
