Saltheart,
Maj Winters is a true american hero. WHo helped save the world when he was needed.
I dont know how you can compare one hero to another. However, there are still great men doing great things. Unfortunately the media is not behind them due to their views on the wars. Its an all volunteer force. And it's less than 1% of the country is volunteering. The pay is less than minimum wage, the deployments are long and often , the sacrifices huge, and theres alot of negativity directed in their direction.
I served with quite a few heroes!
