Stormin Norman died this past week. A real man's hero. War hero. What could be more heroic than being a war hero? Of course since history is written by the victors, he is even more heroic. None of the Nazi soldiers were heroic in WWII, nor the North Vietnamese soldiers in that "police action." And none of the North Korean soldiers of today could ever be called heroic. They are all vicious murderers supporting vicious corrupt regimes. Not at all like the peace loving people of the US with it's thousands of gun deaths per year.
But this is about Norm and not those vicious animals from the losing armies, nor the debate about gun control.

“I may have made my reputation as a general in the Army and I’m very
proud of that,” he once told the AP. “But I’ve always felt that I was
more than one-dimensional. I’d like to think I’m a caring human being. …
It’s nice to feel that you have a purpose.”
"Caring"? not if you were gay.
From the May 12thy, 1993 edition of the La Times:
Retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf told a packed congressional hearing
Tuesday that the U.S. military would become "a second-class armed force"
if President Clinton lifts the ban on homosexuals serving in the
military.
To the best of my knowledge he died having never rescinded that remark. So what makes a hero?
