Fairhopean, using OJ as a “Hero” reference was weak I admit, as he didn’t serve our country. Perhaps Timothy McVay would be a better reference to a “Hero” as he was a decorated veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Gulf War, where he was awarded a Bronze Star. There’s you a “hero” to reference.

Fairhopean Says: Great1- Your NoBama logo makes you look like a sore loser, but I agree with you in that the term hero is used too loosely. Here, the loose usage of the title “hero” is not up for debate. Brad actually did participate in combat. He is a hero.

You’re all alone in calling this dimwit a hero. Did he tell you he participated in combat or were you there to witness it? Maybe a photojournalist was there snaping pictures of him actually doing something heroic. With all sincerity please leave the word “hero” for the ones who deserve it. If he actually did earn the right to be called a hero, then by all means share with the rest of us. Just participating in combat is in no way heroic.
As for my nobama logo, glad you noticed. Has he done anything positive for you lately?
