Why there was a grain of truth to that miliary "hero" thing
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:37 pm
We all remember the hub bub when an MSNBC commentator expressed some concern over using the term "hero" to describe military members (http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2012/ ... n-for-mil/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). I think I see a grain of truth in what he said.
I think it's expressed by the old Emerson Lake and Palmer song "Lucky Man." Tell them they're "heros." Tell them there's glory. Send them into the grinder.

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
