Wars Don't Make Heroes

[cannonia]

There's a grain of truth to the article (the word "hero" is overused) but essentially it's someone who doesn't like the Iraq war whining about how much Americans respect our Armed Forces.  I'll credit all of our men and women who have seen combat as heroes until proven otherwise.  I will also continue wincing every time an idiotic news anchor describes a crime victim as "heroic" for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and doing nothing special.  That's where the term is really being overused.
