#1 Most of the true heros that I have met are very modest and decline to discuss their military service.

The flip side of this would be the phoney hero, as represented by the behaviour of John Forger Kerry.

#2 sometimes I think it is a blessing that the MSM ignores the soldiers. This way, they do their job, the people that matter know and care and they don't get their lives totally screwed up with all of the baggage that instant fame can bring. It's often the worst thing that can happen to someone.

The good Lord works in mysterious ways. I think this is one of them.
