In Reply to: The 'hero' thing actually demeans the person. The word is used cheaply. posted by free.ranger on December 16, 2021 at 08:56:18:
The family and friends of those who serve are full of pride and embrace the concept of the hero. It serves no real purpose, other than to divide, to demean them.
It works out well carrying out whatever agenda on the ground using the military at the same time creating friction/division within the public.
