What a bizarre analogy. That for someone to be a hero in your mind everyone must agree.

Everyone's heros are their own is all. There is no count of votes required before one or many people can admire and look up to someone. For them to call them a hero.

This is silly. You can set whatever threshold you want. It has no impact on who I admire. I hope to admire many many people and have many heros in my time. You stick to a few if that pleases you.

Ah, but when you talk about awarding a person with a very public award, it does matter whether one truly deserves it. That's why the military usually investigates claims of such bravery that it warrants such a high honor, to make sure the person receiving it is worthy.

That's the way it should be.
