>For some time I have heard the term “Hero”, used for any member of the United States military killed in Iraq. Such distinction!

>I thought that people like Audie Murphy and Neville Brand were American war heroes? What is a hero? The meaning of a word changes with time. Most recently the most conservative media shows have been using the term “Hero”, for anyone who has served in Iraq.
I have no problem with that or for any one else who put their life on the line for others. That includes law officers and fire fighters.
I have completely stopped using "hero" to describe athletes and politicians.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
