I think it is rather heroic to go into a war zone where everyone is trying to kill you, and you have no way of shooting back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've gone to war zones before and never got shot.
People aren't universally heroic.
I have seen heroics - soldiers saving other soldiers' lives - and horrors.
My life isn't always at risk, even if I'm in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn't necessarily mean being shot at all the time.
Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day.
There's soldiers out there every day that are doing heroic things... We don't need to create them.
True heroics, obviously, is not the absence of fear, but having that fear and doing something anyway.
That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.
Heroic people take risks to themselves to help others. There's nothing heroic about accepting $5 million to go out and run around chasing a ball, although you may show fortitude or those other qualities while you do it.
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.
