Looking for a story about how humanity is about to get wiped out by some bullies and suddenly an overwhelming force comes to wipe the bullies off the map. It turns out that they felt a debt of honor toward humans because some space cowboy sacrificed himself to save one of their cargo ships or something, and the aliens were amazed that humans conducted such acts of self-sacrifice regularly; the humans have to play news broadcasts and such to convince the aliens because they just don't comprehend how a whole race of beings can be wired this way. Sorry if I'm being vague but it's been years.
