    The part were he killed a German with a bow and arrow is bullshit.

    Churchill gave the signal to attack by raising his claymore. A common misconception is that Churchill killed a German with a longbow in this action. However, Churchill later confessed that while he had intended this, his bows had been crushed by a lorry earlier in the campaign.[15] After fighting at Dunkirk, he volunteered for the Commandos.[

    The advent of the smartphone was the final nail in the coffin of the 'genuine' hero: they thrive on fishermen's tales.

    Now we have 'fail' compilations and serial liars like smeg.

    Heroes used to live forever, now they have three minutes.

    The word "Hero" is applied so liberally lately that that it has lost it's meaning and gravitas
    when everyone is a "Hero" no one is a Hero.
