If we believe that it's how a person acts in a given situation that makes them a hero then we believe that firefighters, police, and soldiers are not heroes, just employees or charity workers.
If we don't believe that they are heroes to begin with then it's contradictory to say that we hold them out to be heroes.
Deployed soldiers, as well as fire fighters and teachers and nurses, are held out to be heroes, by virtue of their career choice. But simply being a soldier does not make one a hero. What they do in the situations presented by such a career choice is why I said they have the greatest potential to be heroes.
I clearly said we are told they are heroes, and many like yourself seem to believe they are simply because they chose to become fire fighters. Being a soldier doesn't mean you'll act heroic, simply because you are in a situation where they have the opportunity to act heroic.
The "fact" you stated was that all soldiers are heroes. You then said that this didn't include Nazis. Therefore, it wasn't a "fact" at all, it was nonsense.
It doesn't make sense because I repeated your argument. What you clearly said was that we hold these people to be heroes because they work cheap. Your view is the same as Bill Maher according to your post. That statement starkly contradicts your previous and current one that a job title does not make a person a hero, period.
I'd like for you to quote my post that says that they ARE heroes. I stated that ANY person who is willing to sacrifice themselves to serve and protect their countrymen is HEROIC. Look up the word if you still don't understand.
All those doobie smoking emoticons... you must be stoned off your ass.

I said that some of us do, because we are told they are heroes.
No, I didn't say we hold them out to be heroes because they work cheap. Bill Maher said it. The point is that we hold them out to be heroes and then pay them crap wages. He guessed they might be heroes because they work cheap and get treated like crap. So to justify their crap wages, we call them heroes. I'm pretty sure you understood that.
What am I supposed to think? Are you doing this by accident? I happened to read King Kandys post where you where arguing against something that you said. If this is how you normally discuss things then I can't take you seriously.

I could imagine that she used we in the meaning of "we as society" rather than "we, and I as one of we support that view". In that light her points seem to make sense.
