That is not inconsistent with either definition I posed.

Belief in something does not necessarily imply you know it for a fact or believe to know it for a fact. For example, I believe that if I go to the bus stop where a bus is meant to arrive at 8:00, that a bus will come at about 8:00, though of course I can't know this because maybe the bus will have run into traffic or gotten into an accident.

He refused 3,6 million on 3 years from Arizona Cardinals to fight for his country after 9/11, and yeah he was mistakenly believed to be from enemy combatants :/

Who here can say that he would suspend a great millionaire career and put his life in danger to help his country ? not me.

A true hero for me, but not even a patriot for Bush.

So soldiers who gave up their normal lives to go fight in Afghanistan are heroes?

Glad we can agree on something.

Tragic? Or his own fault for joining an army notorious for friendly fire incidents?

Dunno about heroes... Misguided idiots maybe. Takes some balls to do I'll give em that. Wouldn't call them cowards... But it doesn't take a lot of brains either.

Just having and doing things that take courage don't make you a hero.

you can say that he is not a hero because he didn't accomplish anything much to help his country and you right.

But he should be a good source of inspiration, also i wonder who are heroes in the real world ?
