Poll: Do soldiers deserves the title of hero?

[Connor Lonske]

I don't hate the armed forces, I hate the stereotype soldier, which most of the in-listed ranks in the army and some other branches act. they pretend to of been in many battles when almost all modern soldier do not, they are very cocky and offen stereotypes of people from poor urban neighborhoods or small towns in the south/Midwest. Both groups are even worse in the military. I also do not agree with killing, but I know in War it is necessary.

As for the people who are trying to remove the group that you described on Facebook, they are most likely young kids (below 13) who think they have knowledge about the world based on what their parents told them.

Some of them do.

Some of them really do, but I guess it depends on your definition of a soldier.

Michael Collins was definitely a hero, don't know if you'd call him a soldier or not.

Do all teachers around the world deserve to be called intelligent? Of course not, that title is not something to just be trifled around. It has to be earned, like many other things. Technically, the Nazi soldiers were soldiers too, do they deserve the title of hero? Anyone with a brain will know that the answer is of course not!

It's only deserved if you've done something to warrant being given the title. But I've heard from a lot of people that many soldiers don't wish to be called heroes.

The medics should get the title of "Hero"

I have two views on this.

1. They're just doing their jobs.
I don't get called Hero for serving people in a crappy, little shop.

2. They're putting their lives in danger.
Risking the only life they have to fight for what is believed to be "good".

I'm indifferent on the whole situation going on in that part of the world. I acknowledge that it's happening and many people have had their lives devastated by it, but personally I think it's ridiculous.

Only if they do something worthy of being "heroic". Donning a uniform does not make you a hero simply, nor does it make you remarkable. Killing others whom simply you kill because they are the "opposition" is not heroic, saving your own comrades from a near-doomed battle would be.

War is an atrocity of mankind, but it is one mankind likely wont give up for quite awhile, not while greedy, bastardizing, corrupt politicians run the field, at least.

You realize terrorism thrives in war, because it is usually because of the opposition that the terror organizations even began. 9/11 happened because of politics, and in a religious sense, because the middle-east views the USA as the clear-cut devil of their world. Do you think it really helped when the US army decided to invade them soon afterwards, and even firstly a country that did not really have even anything to do with 9/11 in the first place? Probably not.
