This 'hero' business started when people began to feel guilty about the shabby treatment many Vietnam vets experienced. So now every person who serves is a 'hero' -- even if their motivation for joining was to get some money together for college and their most hazardous duty may have been the possibility of fucking up a requisition order stateside.
I appreciate people's service. I don't worship it. And calling every person who serves a hero cheapens the word. It should be reserved for those who went above and beyond and made extraordinary sacrifices on the field of battle. Period.
