Modern firearms and the collapse of heroism

[The Architect Of Fate]

Reading the accounts of veterans of various wars and the contrast between how war is portrayed when they were recruited to the actual reality of a battlefield and some Veterans who were at the prison I worked at who suffered from PTSD. Not sure where were going with this.

I'm sure you picked the accounts you agreed with.

Nope, I picked all kinds of accounts some that held opinions I totally disagreed with from factions I totally disagreed with but an overall theme kept finding across them formed my opinion.

Okay, I won't bother you again.

I do think that, sometimes, there are smarter and more discrete ways to do what's right. If you're fighting for, say, freedom of the press, just use an ultra secure VPN and an anonymous pen name and criticize whatever you want, why join the list of thousands, perhaps millions, of dead journalists and activists who were killed because they thought it's courageous to openly fight very powerful governments?

Absolutely. "Heroism" to me is reserved for those who go above and beyond, but there are many who do what they can to help things. 

Just getting outside the bubble and paying attention is an act of resistance these days.
