Message: <blockquote data-quote="ByrdC130" data-source="post: 1887150" data-attributes="member: 4993">Military has nothing to do with being a hero.  Hate to tell y'all this but there are as many f*&ktards in the military today as decent people, maybe a bit more.  Being a hero is not something an individual does, it's something bestowed upon someone by others in recognition of their acts.  Usually if someone tries to attain hero status, they are pretty much egotistical creeps.   So in small town America, where once there was a lot of pride in where one was from, the local football team was a symbol of that local pride. When the team did well, the town was proud and rejoiced in the teams accomplishments. Thus, they tended to bestow the hero status for uplifting the spirits of the local community.</blockquote>
