Laurie's thought of the day.
Two planes have landed in England today. One is carrying a group of overpaid, underachieving, whining prima-donnas, the other is carrying seven coffins draped in the Union Flag.
Hero is a much over-used word these days, but I know exactly where my priorities lie. RIP to those guys who've died, and condolences to their families and friends. |

Re: Laurie's thought of the day.
We can't even really say it's even down to modern living...just the way the world works.
The analogy of Roman Soldier vs Gladiator springs to mind. |

Re: Laurie's thought of the day.
Well said.
When you put the two occurances together on the very same day, one is transient, ethereal and not worthy of mention in the shadow of the other.

Re: Laurie's thought of the day.
There's been quite a discussion about this on my facebook page if anyone's interested (I used pretty much the same post as my status). It mainly centres around the use of the word 'hero' to describe anyone serving with the forces, and what a true hero really is.
