I'm not, this event took place in the states and was on ESPN yesterday and it was announced this way.

Some people would call me a hero because I went where I was told and did what I was told, I am not a hero(yet) People do tend to overuse the word quite a bit, but with my personal perception of the word, there are none living.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's MY kind of hero. I guess his accomplishment is impressive, but it's definitely not something I would want to emulate or encourage others to emulate.

Yep I beleive it. America has certainly lowered the standards on what a hero really is.

Please stop generalizing. He may be a hero to some (and we won't talk negatively about the population considering him a 'hero'), but I assure you he is not a hero to all.
