Unpopular opinion: Most soldiers aren't heroes

This military worship is going way too far in this country. Most soldiers are just regular people who signed up to get ahead in life. I don't hate them, I just think it's ridiculous that everyone basically has to bow down in front of them and constantly call them heroes and shit.

their sacrifice is what has kept America free,that's why they are Heros...It takes a special person to lay their life on the line for their fellow solders and you and I

@ajsk13 When exactly was the last time America was invaded?

The way I remember history is that American forces have done MOST of the invading over the past couple of centuries.

That's not defending a country to keep it free, that's attacking everyone else to keep them down.

Hardly the actions of heroes.

Soldiers don’t pick targets, they are given them @Quizzical
