Parade of the heroes, Beijing 2008!!

OK, they did well, but HEROES?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

They get a two hour TV show filmed in central London

Our returning troops get (If they are lucky) a local trip through the local town but often get abuse for being in the forces!!!

THESE ARE OUR HEROES, NOT THESE PEOPLE THAT CAN RUN, SWIM OR CYCLE A BIT FASTER.

Sad but true.

Maybe that's why the Men and Women, past and present, in our Armed Forces are known as the unsung hero's, it's very rare for their individual achievements and sacrifices to become public knowledge.

V8MoneyPit:
I completely agree. The use of the word 'hero' is used in the most inapropriate ways these days. Footballers are not heroes on the pitch. You even get heroic animals..... err, no you don't!

I don't want to take anything away from the achievements of our olympians, but they are not heroes in the true sense of the word.

Thrasher:
They are simply "Olympians". Nothing more, nothing less.

denviks:
what makes me more angry  ( i agree with above too ) is the news reporting that guy richie and madona and splitting up. then the second storey is the life of a solider was lost today in iraq....

which is the more important story???/

just shows the moral standings huh  :x :x :x :x
