narciso – I am a 1st responder. Have been since leaving the military and the local firehouse saw I had all the basic training.
What I was saying is that Bush devoted an inordinant amount of time to his “heroes” – military and 1st responders – and neglected putting time in with the other 270 million Americans in meeting and honoring their exemplars.
And as ex-military and a local volunteer, my opinion is that claiming blanket “herohood” simply by job title, is silly.
Admirable, courageous, true role models exist in all walks of life. And Presidential responsibilities are to the nation as a whole, not in ignoring the issues and concerns of most to over-honor the few.
