"doing what you signed up to do" isn't a qualification for heroism.

And I disagree with that. There are plenty of cowards in fox holes, not that I blame them.

I signed up to be in the military. That doesn't make me heroic, because it BECOMES my status quo when it because my job to do heroic things.

I disagree there. It's not a soldier's job to do heroic things. Most of you never do anything really worthy of mention, no offense. Only very rarely are you called to heroism, though it is more often than the rest of us. Still, in those moments, some are heroic, others are not. I'd be surprised if you did anything qualifying as heroism, whether you signed up to or not. I really mean no offense. It's just that you could have been stationed in Germany for all I know.

I personally think a firefighter is more called to heroism than a soldier, but I am biased. I was married to a soldier who was a right asshole. I doubt he ever did anything heroic, unless it involved him getting to be an aggressive tough guy.
