In reality, comparing hakaras hatov owed to lomdei Torah to that owed to soldiers is comparing apples to oranges.
You could perhaps argue that the benefit from the lomdei Torah outweighs the more literal mesiras nefesh of the soldiers, but in no way can you discount the mesiras nefesh of the soldiers in appreciating them.
+1.
BTW, I think this was really Sam2’s point in response to your question of who do we “appreciate more”.
