To: RedStateRocker; Repeat Offender; Amish with an attitude

You are right and I am wrong. I said that other than firemen and honest policemen there have been no American heroes since Abraham Lincoln.

The millions of Americans who’ve fought and/or died in battle (Thank you, Seals, Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors) are heroes; as well as the millions of unsung who’ve risked their lives intervening or saving beleaguered family members or strangers.

And there is the category of hero for those who simply live up to and thus defend Absolute Values as opposed to propagating a moral-free America.

My comment was said in the heat of disappointment in Patraeus, whom I had considered a hero.

I applaud you for coming back to “revise and extend” your remarks. Be advised that the average Freeper knows more about history than 99.5% of the typical American.
