Characteristics of a War Hero

Soldiers who are at war and are fighting for their country have many redeeming qualities. These men [in 1812, soldiers were only men], were very corageous. They put their lives on the line and sacrifice cut all attachments to do what good they can for their country. In most ways, courage is about having to forget your fears and do what is absolutely right at that time. Whether it's fighting in a battle for your country or fighting off monsters from under the bed, courage i courage: an or woman, child or adult. Honor is another of these redeeming qualities. Men who leave behind everything to defend their country are also defending not just their, but the country's honor.

People are often classified into being a leader or a follower. A leader is someone who can take charge in ALL situations. They do not back down when times are difficult. A leader is also someone who not only has the courage to take charge, but the adequacy to do so. You cannot be a leader if people aren't willing to follow you OR if you cannot handle these difficult tasks that you take on. A follower is someone who stays back in the crowd. They do not make their voice heard in any way, and do everything exactly as their superior tells them to. Ths can be a good thing and a bad thing beause sometimes a follower does things they know are wrong just because someone above them demanded it.

Controversially, but still obviously, there is a fairly significant difference between justice and vengeance, but it can be difficult to pinpoint. Something that factors in to this is the person issuing it. If a person were being punished for murder, justice would most likely come from a person of a 3rd party with no inside interest in thematter. Vengeance would more likely come from the inside, from somebody personally effected by it. I think the main fundamental change in the two, is that justice attempts to give the offender what they truly deserve for what they've done, while vengeance is all about eye-for-2 eyes, when often the avenger takes more than fair.
