I think you may have misunderstood, I wasn't grouping him in with anyone, just arguing the point that some have made that "being a veteran" entitles someone to special treatment. I'm just making the point that (just being a veteran) is nothing special.
Over the last several years it has seemed to become the norm to make vets, cops, firemen out to be heros. I am just saying that it's not the title you carry or the job you do that makes a hero, it's heroic actions that make heros.

are pensle like tim mcvay also considered heros? i agree that serving in the military is honorable but really think you cheapen true heroism by assigning it to so many.

I think his fingers got lost on the key board,,he meant people.Tim McVey was in hservice and to my knowledge was honorably discharged. What he did after he left the service does not and is not any reflection on what he did while in uniform. Many people that have faced combat and other stressful situations have serious problems re adjusting to a change.
I recommend you read the book [U]UNBROKEN[U] to get an idea about how some folks react to military service once they leave.

I really don't think you're getting my point so I'll stop now.

My father-in-law is a Vet...Air Force...never served a day overseas, so no combat. He is one of the most self centered selfish people I have ever met. His wife, my mother-in-law, along with my wife and her siblings are of the exact same opinion that this planet will be better off when he stops sucking air. Under these circumstances, anyone who calls this sorry excuse of a man a hero, has zero ability to make a good judgement.

These scumbags never even left Camp Victory…..I on the other hand was traveling 2-3 times a week between Baghdad and Fallujah, 43 miles of hell and Tangos…
