Everyone in our military who accepts their duty is a hero to me.

well..... it all depends on what he was doing.
-If his orders were to fight children. I would say he is a hero to not do so.
-If his orders were to fight some one who wants to kill children. I couldn't call him a hero for not fighting them
-If his orders were to fight david hasselhoff in a celeb boxing match. I could care less what he did

This isn't Viet Nam, our boys...including my Son, have volunteered. Most believe in the mission and follow orders.

And yes....they are Heroes!

His son is a hero.

I don't think following orders can make you a hero. You're just following orders. A militarty hero would have to decide to do something himself.

So volunteering could make you a hero, if that's how you feel and I know Conservative does, because you choose to do it yourslef... but fighting someone under orders can't.

The chain of command is there to protect lives....when soldiers free-lance they endanger those around them.

I'm not against our soldiers...nevre have been, never will be.

My beef is with this administration using our military for their own personal agendas and profit.
