do people really have heroes, or indeed are people actually hero material these days.
most people seem to be afraid of comeback (if their attempt goes wrong) and just indifferent to other peoples needs, to do heroic acts.
i personally don't see many heroes, most acts seem to be done purely for a crack fame or fortune.
i think a lot of "heroes" are simply mislabelled, be that famous people with cult status, soldiers doing a paid job that no-one forces them to do (many do it to play war).
i think the real heroic figures in society are in emergency services, fire and ambulance especially,t
