I was pretty impressed hearing about the NFL player who quit football to join the Army Rangers who was recently killed. I doubt whether you'll find many other professional athletes who would pass up 3 million dollars to defend their country. Our society seems to have a twisted view of who the real heroes are today. Michael Jordan is a great athlete. He may even be a good role model. He's not really a hero, though. Tom Cruise may play a lot of heroes, but he's just photogenic guy who's overpaid for what he does. Definitely not a hero. The Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force are filled with the real deal. It's about time they got some respect.
