I don't think it's healthy or good that we lionize those who serve in the military
So no, those serving aren't heroes any more than there peers who aren't serving. They're just kids in a bad system.

1. Real heroes don't need to be lionized
The nastier the work they do, the more human rights they violate, the more crimes against humanity they perpetrate; that's when they need a big cheering section with a brass band while they hand out medals.
Like you have any perspective and practical knowledge beyond packing a bong and bitching on the internet, DUmmie.
Crimes against humanity? Human rights violations? For medals?!?

Why not recognize a teacher, a social worker, a health care worker, a firefighter, a volunteer -- anyone making a difference in their community. People quietly perform heroic acts that go unnoticed and unappreciated every day. It's beyond time to acknowledge and celebrate some of them.
With the exception of the firefighter, none of the above that you mentioned has written a check to the American People (including
your worthless ass) in the amount of "up to and including my life".
I'm glad you mentioned "heroic acts that go unnoticed and unappreciated every day", DUmmie. Here's one for you, broken down into a picture so you can understand it:
Any more stupid questons?

7. Yep
By making them "heroes" regardless of what they actually do or don't do, we glorify war. Why don't we consider all teachers "heroes" automatically? Or for that mater sanitary workers?
Teachers?
Teachers?!? No such thing exists in the public education system anymore, you useless simpleton. I have more respect for the trash man than I do for most of the dipshit "educators" that suck up my tax money. At least the trash man provides a valuable service.
BTW, DUmbass, I would much rather "glorify war" than praise some welfare queen for the "struggle" of raising children in a democrat built cesspool.

8. I spent 4 years doing absolutely nothing beneficial to anyone..
and I'm embarrassed when anyone thanks me for my "service".
USMC '61 - '65
It is often said that there is no such thing as an "ex" Marine...
I get a bit sheepish when I'm thanked for my service to my country, but it's not because I'm an America hating, piece of shit DUmmie embarrassed by wearing the uniform.

13. I have a son in the military
He has an important technical job, high security clearance and looks spiffy in a uniform.
He is also 19, can't clean his room or remember to call momma or nana once in a while and like to play D&D and Magic when he is home.......
I'll pass on making him a hero..... at least until he cleans up his damn room.
Gee, I can't imagine why he doesn't want to talk to his shallow, pathetic, hateful mother, either. Think it could be because she has the personality of a bent shitcan?
I have a son who is an Army certified Marksman/Sharpshooter that could drop a jihadi from several hundred yards away but can't seem to hit a laundry basket with his dirty socks to save his life.
Wanna know the difference between you and I, DUmbass?
The fact that he volunteered his life to give you ass-douches the freedom to spit on his sacrifice has earned him a place of honor in his home and country that none of you will ever be able to achieve. His picture hangs on a special wall of our home that contains the pictures of his daddy, mommy, grandpas, and uncles that took time out of their lives to serve something greater than themselves.
Is he a hero? Compared to you and your DUmpmates, he's more of a hero than you ****s will ever be.
