I really encourage you to read this fine American’s biography since his birth in 1984 and what he’s done that didn’t involve ‘swimming’.....take a look at his service, his self-sacrifice with no rewards and all the other attributes one might attach to earning respect for achievement. A multi-millionaire who has ‘served’ his country wholly worthy of our ignorant idolization. Yessirreee... we can be certainly proud at all that.
So now we can only admire and/or respect hard work and personal achievement if they don’t involve swimming?
