It seems only fitting the the spineless would also have bloodless heroes.

Since when do you have to kill people to be a hero? I know America is a violent country but really?

Is that all Chris Kyle did was kill people?

It sounds like he was a nice guy. But some people are glorifying him for the wrong reasons...

That not what I said, nor is it even a logical interpretation of what I said.

Please refrain from trying to deconstruct what I write. You have neither the training nor the talent for it.

Last I checked, firefighters don't kill people, they risk their lives to save lives...

Chris Kyle did both.

What do you mean by "bloodless hereos"?

The desanguinated? The anemic? The dull? People with really hyper clotting ability?

If it wasn't then elaborate on what you meant. Stop being a coward

How would you know what I'm trained for?

That is what you seem to be focusing on.

Running away from your own words in under fifteen minutes. This has to be a new record for you.

I never said he was a bad guy or a bad soldier. I just disagree with calling him a hero...

[slapshot]

Many in BMore would call Joe Flacco a "hero".

Point being - different people have different thresholds, different definition of what a "hero" is to them.

Oh, I'm sorry; I didn't realize that English is not your first langauge.

Saving American lives is the wrong reason.

Wow.

Is it yours?

What do you mean by "bloodless hereos"?

You are just kidding with me, right?

[The Astute Reader(tm)]

Is it yours?

A transposition typo? This is the best you can do? Seriously? This would be another time when you would have been better off sitting on your hands.

Hoist on your own petard again. How amusing.

And yet again "ya got nuthin" here, Squidlips. Stop embarassing yourself.

Not at all. Why not just answer the question? Because in the context it was my take you were suggesting that there are heroes like Kyle as opposed to "bloodless heroes". The difference being that one was heroic in the battlefield/killing enemy sense and the other not, but you say that's not the case.
