I have not been in combat, and my kids certainly never will be, so this is all second hand. My dad was in the infantry in korea, and saw some significant combat. He rarely spoke of it, but he never seemed to be very impressed with "hero" types, especially when they were leading him. It seems to me that there is a difference between "knowing what you are doing" and collecting a pile of purple hearts. Just sayin'.
