kipperfan, who truly is a hero? The people who probably didn't want to go to war but stood in the face of death anyway (of which many made the ultimate sacrifice) to serve their duty as a citizen? Or those who felt it wasn't important to give back to a country that was one of the best to live in at the time? I know which answer I'd go for, and it certainly isn't those who deserted their country.
Likewise, I don't agree with the war in Iraq, but I consider those men and women out there who are putting their lives on the line to be more heroic as human beings than anyone who shamefully runs from their obligation as a citizen.
