Those are good things except for the unintended summary execution of the alleged spy. That is the problem, was he actually a spy? Did they wrestle for the gun? The only thing that changed was the “premeditated” He did not wake up that morning and lay a plan to kill that man, it just happened. Was the man trying to set them up for a mortar attack or gathering intel. Very possible, in fact likely, but we will never know.

None of that stands as heroic actions they are in fact patriotic. I have heroes, men you will never hear of. I know what they did and I know they did it because they loved the men they served with. They did multiple combat tours or volunteered for convoy ops out of a sense of responsibility. Most paid heavily for their patriotism. All of them would correct you if you called them heroes. Which is why I do not use the term hero lightly.
