...no, no...this isn't that woman...this is an American soldier...Jessica Lynch, maybe? Can't remember except that her heroics turned out to be pure bullshit...and just how are any of these soldiers heroes? Was there a heroic Nazi? Were the Japanese who raped Nanking heroes? The answer is always "yes"...but only to their own side....the word hero has to exist outside of any personal affiliation...you do not call YOURSELF a hero, to mean anything that designation has to come from someone else...anyone BUT you or your parents.
