Frightened 15 - pathetic
Melchett I'm with you. I've just read this article - pathetic.
For the benefit of all the journos out there the definition of 'hero' is:
somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown great courage, strength of character, or another admirable quality
The frightened 15 do not fit this definition - stop calling them that - it demeans those that really are.
If you're looking for 'heroic' (and stoic) servicemen go to Iraq or Afghanistan where they really do wake up every day wondering if they'll see the sunset.
