Duh, to promote that agenda? Although that's not what i'm doing here.

because it shows you have no idea about what you are saying?

or, you are trolling

I read what you were saying... I found it simplistic and naive.

yes, those are two words that define my opinions quite well

Inadvertantly through the simplistic arguments of others maybe; however, that is not my intention, truly my friend.

to me heroes are men who died doing something noble.

that's a hero.

fighting to protect your friends, family the weak who cant defend themselves that is heroic.

fighting ppl that you clearly outmatch in strength, tech and mockingly kill is not. that is cowardly... i have hated men who mock the dead knowing they themselves were in no real danger while they toss a grenade into a room or RPG some one...

i am talkin about ppl i have served with in the past.

Are you Whirly?

Agreed!

having said that, i have also served alongside men who were wounded and refused to leave some one behind with no thought to his own safety.

surprisingly, the most heroic ppl i knew were PFC's or LCPL's.. injured and having recently been IED'd,, dragging three of his fellow marines out of a burning flipped vehicle. thinking to himself, he is gonna die from his wounds but not before taking out of the wreckage.

more often then not ppl need to justify their actions in war and reasons for going to war. we call a small army terrorist, insurgents b/c if we call them ill equipped combative civilians would not sound very heroic and maybe even criminal.

on the same token ppl using freedom fighters can also be very disingenuous. ppl simply taking advantage of the chaos to press their own political/monetary/religious agenda with no regard to those around them who it heavily effects.

the only real heroes is something i learned from my MA master when i was a snot nose punk.

" Bruce Lee, Superman, Spiderman, these are not heroes. They do not exist and they do not know you.

your mother, your father your Aunts, uncles your Guardians who raised you who work hard to provide for you keep you save these are heroes.

Doctors, nurses, policemen. ppl who willingly put on a uniform every day knowing they could die doing the right thing. they deserve your respect and admiration not some movie star."

he is dead and never knew me.

Dodging gun fire to save a brother is heroic, stuff like that...sure. Just fighting in the war? Nah, it's just a career.
