Defining a Hero

I read an interesting article,

[A HREF="http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MichelleMalkin/2007/02/07/the_lefts_definition_of_a_hero"]Left's hero[/A]

and wondered how the subject of article; Army Lt. Ehren Watada, becomes a real hero. I mean that he seems to be a hero of the media, of the liberals and I heard a few interviews with him claiming he is doing the right thing.

So I wonder if Tallcal agrees with his fellow liberals and the media or does he agree with a person like Corporal Jason Dunham maybe a real hero, Tallcal?

Check out Corporal Jason Dunham’s story here,

See to the people who villainize the military and the troops are repeating the same thing that was done to the Vietnam vets. Maybe we need to start changing things.

Oh by the by, Lt. Watada is on trial, I think 20 years of hard labor is justified but others think that he should be sentenced to "…to work at Walter Reed, to handle the in- and out-processing of wounded veterans.â€

TallCal?

Dunham passing away is sad. what's even sadder is me and him were drinkin buddies and he's been gone for almost 3 years and i didn't even know it. he was hero before he did that. he used to take care of a lot of drunk marines at the e-club to help keep them out of trouble. he was a good guy. :'(
call me a girl if you want but i think i'm gonna cry.

Anything less than execution is less than Watada deserves. He isn't fit to be a citizen of the U.S. much less a soldier.

Leo?!?
Ok let me ask you something Leo, how do you feel about Charles Robert Jenkins, should he have been tried for desertion and executed?

If he deserted he should be tried for desertion. If convicted he should receive the punishment prescribed by law.

A real Hero. Funny I was sitting in Milford CT Pilot the other moringing sipping my coffee waiting for a shower. When up above me was this kind smilling man on a poster with a message on it.

Adoption.

You know the restaurant chain, the man even named his business after his own daughter. This man in my Eyes a True American Hero, Dave Thomas.
