A Failure of Vision

End of the War Hero

Being a hero is not a job for everyone, many accept this and give credit to those who are willing to take the challenge.
But there is another group for who the sting of their own cowardice is too much to bear. They are not willing to accept that they cannot be heroes.
They cannot accept that, even if they were younger or had the physical ability to confront a violent villain, they would shrink from the challenge.
To alleviate their guilt they invent a new villain–Halliburton, Cheney, neo-cons, politicians, military officers, Soldiers, Marines–in short, anyone who will not physically harm them.

Why is the current crop of anti-war movies going right into the dustbin of history? Because even though the American public has been completely lied to constantly by the media about what is going on in the war, the public still instinctively understands who does step up to the plate.
