Those are the folks who are not surprised...these groups exist.
I have to admit though, even I was shocked...at this part of your link.
THAT...is very concerning.  |
That is surprising. To me. But things have changed in all sorts of ways. Younger people have not as much respect for the military as older people. We lived/live in different times and have different criteria for what is considered a hero.
I think for some the absence of a bad record is an honorable thing, and for others to achieve something mankind was lacking or needed brings honor. For others raising children who are responsible and kind and do not burden anyone unnecessarily are heroes and heroines. I have not met many heroes, but I knew they were real heroes when I met them. Some have had disabilities and some have had superior abilities. Some are unknown to the big world but only known and cherished by a select few. Some of my heroes have died. (way too many and too often anymore) I look forward to meeting more heroes before I leave.
