A real hero

[Plumcrazy]

In this day and age the word hero is used too casually in my opinion.

This man truly was a hero.

Damn right he was, I can't imagine how many more lives would have been lost if he didn't do that.
I wish our current leaders had the stones to do that in today's situation.

and stop worrying about being so damn "politically correct" ... and worrying about OFFENDING every friggggin body else who isn't american!!!
we cater way to damn much to everybody else... why isn't anyone concerned that WE (USA americans) might be offended that they are soooooo worried about offending everybody else in the world!!!!  how bout us??? we should start taking care of our home turf more!!!!
it's such a shame that we have soooo many veterans (of allll ages & wars) that are homeless.... in much need of medical care, and financial help...especially after they give up sooo much to fight for our freedoms & to protect us... but then they come home...to no support, and find out they are in financial trouble.. cause they left good paying jobs... while they had to go away....ect...ect..ect
it's really sad!!!!! 
good bless all our service men & women... who have sacrificed soooo much...(some the ultimate sacrifice!!) for this great country!!!!!
sorrrry but if you don't like it..... get the hell out & go back to your own damn country..if it's sooooo friggin great!!!!!!
why do i have to be the one on the phone to have to press 1 for english?? shouldn't it just be automatic???

Ya i was on the phone the other day and finally had to do that, i stopped for a minute and thought to myself, did she just say press one for English?  I'm gonna have to make sure my kids learn Spanish so that they can translate for me in 10 more years.  Just like the Hispanics(or Mexican-Americans or whatever the correct term is) that have kids that speak English so they can translate to their parents in Spanish.

 my kids started learning spanish in kindergarden here

Nice rant John!!!  Don't make me start spouting history on this one.  This man did his job and performed in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States.

Add me to the mix.

I'll be there, i got plenty of weps in every corner of my house.  Think Red Dawn, I'm ready brother!!! Cold war ain't over to me by a long shot and I never forget the past.

You know what...In middle school I wrote a paper (that my history teacher made me mail to the President) about the same thing...how we are so worried about "helping" out everyone and being "nice" to everyone else, that we forget about our own.  If we would take the money that we use for wars and invest it back into our own country we would have a huge national deficit and maybe there wouldn't be so many homeless or on welfare.  (mind you I was in Middle school and the first gulf war was going on).
