Who is/are your hero(s)

[jn.loudnotes]

This may just be quibbling with semantics, but in my post the point I was trying to make is that most people use the word "hero" a little too loosely.

It's fine to have people who set a good example - they can be excellent role models, idols even.  But looking back to the heroes of old, it seems like the term is getting a little too much usage.  

Nowadays we're calling any exceptional person who saves a life or inspires a hero, but it used to require much more than that.

Odysseus, Aeneas, Achilles - they may all have been epic, but it seems like real accomplishment is their heroism.

So not every soldier in battle is the hero - they may be role models if the war is just, but the heroes are those who lead and propel victory.
