..I seldom get my silkies in a twist but in this day of no guts and no glory , I am seeing that stinking phrase a lot lately and I am annoyed. Hero..Will some one who has chistened a hero tell me exactly what that thing is..Charlton Heston..? Come on ..He mught have played Moses to the eights but hero?...John McCain ..a hweo ..Or a privledged son who got his ass shot down doing what he was paid to do..I will not go into his virtues but I was pounding sand in Viest Nam and killing a commie for mommy before he was airborne and I can assure you that he and "Lurch"..the other John ..Heinz? who should be declared legally a coward for his lies and distortions about what I and other good men did in that shit hole ..He could not have lasted a week with My Marines .He was a punk at the gate folks..same as McCain ..Hero's will never wear that term get damn crabby if you insisit upon calling them that ..and will probably do something b very un heroic if you don't stop with that crap...The g heros in my humble opinion are the guys and gals that go out everyday and do the right thing ..forgive others ..believe in this great nation ..and will fight until their last breath if you disrespect their name or family..like you flks here ..Stop putting anything or one above you ..You are the right stuff guys..stay frosty
