I'm a vet and don't consider myself a hero at all. A hero in my book is someone who does something extraordinary to overcome impossible odds or sacrifices their own welfare for that of their fellow human beings. I think the word hero is thrown about too easily in today's age. You don't automatically become a hero just because you don a uniform.

I agree with you, but there’s no excuse for being rude, probably to your own customers.

Who do you think buys more guns, veterans or lawyers from the ACLU?

Well said.
