I got snipers Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon on first,
that is because their effort to try to save Mike Durant from the downd Super 64 black hawk.

And the firemen and police men in NY on second.

This is a discussion going on in the Black Hawk Down thread, and its got nothing to do with the film so I might as well make a thread here!

most heroic act must be when YOU jump infront of a runaway train

saveing what ?

heroic acts?...well...i managed to break fitch's thumb today
Guess it might as well be heroic

not for me

comon dude, this is a respectfull thread, for people who sacrefied their life to save some other person..they might not even know!

mr.deeds(from the movie),saveing the cats ?

well..then i'd like to thank mr Bush for all the flies he shot with his satelites, wich were about to attack me

COMEON!!!

let's be serious..........I just can't help it

i'd like to thank Mihai Viteazu...for all the turks he smashed..
(oh..i'm not anti turks)

I think nobody heard of Mihai Viteazu here.....

too bad...cuz there's more about this country than bloody Vlad tepes....
*coughfinticough*

culture...this is what "some people" don't have enough

anyone who volunteers to risk their life to go to war.

Not a chance! Wars are fought between people 'above' me, so they might as well enrole themselfs.
Especially for this "for the country!" bullsh!t

Long live Romania !!!!

yeah, but im talking the soldiers who volunteer themselves to go in and very possibly die. thats heroic if you ask me.

heoric is doing your everyday job risking your life to save others

yeah,like firemans,policemans and other "risky" jobs...
In my opinion heroic is when you know that you cannot succed,but you try.

Perhaps someone willing to die 4 the one they love....

umm..yeah...that's different, worthy

deppends on why they do it. It might just be stupid

in the name of Allah,the Holy War.....
it was just an example,not talking about Afganistan or anything

umm..yah...ergh, fitch..we're talking about ideals here.
And afganistan really doesn't have anything to do with it, or what you tried to reffer to

*reads first post and starts from there*

I'd switch those two Thomas. Other than that, nothing is wrong. Though Shughart and Gordon were both very heroic...even though they got butchered by the Somalians...

Dexx,I reffer to ideals too.The Afgans have their ideal in Allah,and they think it's a holy war because they are protecting Allah,and Allah protects them.And for them it's an honor to die in this "Holy" War.

were not makeing any threads.we just post in the existing ones....really

yeah..and it's called SPAM

I'm not advertising anything....
nor I make any damage to the forum...

spam is posting for the sake of posting, or unnecessary posting.

Define necesary posting on this forum ... in the general discussion area please....

ON-TOPIC! not pages and pages with general babble more suited for pm's or instant messengers

Good call mah.

although it's sad to admit,he is right(mah).since you came(rusky),I started to post all the nonsense.stop Fitch stop!!!!

There u go..blame me...k..no problem..

Are you 2 married? you certainly act like an old married couple.

god....now this is why i usually don't post too much in the gdf.
Oh well....ooh..i like the new smillies
P.S.: don't remember exactly what spam comes from but it's something with stupid pointless advertising message. So it's advertising...

Does the most heroic act have to be a real life act or a fictional one from the movies or TV etc? Obviously the fictional ones will appear to be more heroic and dramatic like blowing up a deathstar without using the targetting computer and only having a 2 metre hole to aim for. Whereas the everyday life ones might be a complete stranger diving into a freezing cold water on a stormy night in winter with the winds blowing massive waves around to swim out and save the life of a stranded teenager when the firemen on scene said it was too dangeous to do so, and in doing so ended up in hospital themselves oo.

I know the person who was saved so this act meant a lot to me because years later this person was an important part of my life.

Ofcourse only real ones count. Fictional already don't impress me THAT much.
Though there are some real ones wich outpace the movie's ones

In that case I favour the one I posted just now because it directly affected later aspects of my life. I know the allies in the wars and the brave acts in other battles and wars could be viewed as affecting my life indirectly but this was definately directly.

i hate wars. The war heroes are heroes in a restricted circle for all i care

a war hero,The Red Baron....

Most generally, war heroes are only heroes to the country they fought for..
