It's best not to be called a "hero"......

Have you ever noticed how politicians treat those they call heroes?

Soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan trapped in the broken system of veterans care, 9/11 emergency workers whose health and psychological problems have been widely reported upon, but are still denied by the city and government.

Teachers, first responders, community workers, all regularly called heroes and all making no money and getting virtually no resources.

It's really better not to be called a hero. That's pretty much a sign that you're about to be shit upon.
