Homer Simpson

I thought it was this man?

[shadowmouse]

Heroes? Hell, not only do we have heroes, we have hoagies and grinders!

[Jakexe]

Ned Kelly. A cop killer and bank robber. An Aussie hero for some reason. (it's the armour)

[Elba]

That's just people doing the job they are payed to do.

How? They are merely doing the job they are paid to do? They are important jobs but so are garbage men.

Exactly. Logger, Ice Road Trucker and Deep Sea Fisherman are far more dangerous jobs, yet no one figuratively fellates those guys.

[Mormolyce]

I guess the swagman from Waltzing Matilda and Ned Kelly. Australia has anti-heroes.

[schwarzkopf]

The Aussie hero and his donkey.

[Mormolyce]

Gustavus Adolphus i guess making sweden a super power during the thirty years war in the 1600's. Not much super power today though.

Surely it's Pewdiepie now though.

[Elba]

Anyway, hero:

[Mormolyce]

The Aussie hero and his donkey.

John Howard? Is that you?

[kasuke06]

Has anyone said Audie Murphy yet? He asked them to tone down the biographical film made about him, because he didn't think people would believe the shit that actually happened to him.

[Independent voter]

Robert A. Taft, from Ohio, for criticizing the Nuremberg Trials for trying Nazi war criminals under ex post facto laws. Counter-criticism against Taft's statements was vital to his failure to secure the Republican nomination for President in 1948.

Andrew Jackson. The man who could have single handedly stopped the civil war, had he come later. He would have looked out over the battlefields and said "there's no reason for this."

[Berengil]

Andrew Jackson. The man who could have single handedly stopped the civil war, had he come later. He would have looked out over the battlefields and said "there's no reason for this."

Trump may have been obliquely referring to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullification_Crisis .

Though somehow I doubt it.

Good quote from Pres. Jackson during the events (he was visited by some South Carolinians and asked if he had a message for the state): "Yes I have; please give my compliments to my friends in your State and say to them, that if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach."

So maybe () Trump half-remembered that from his time in military school.

[Astalnar]

A salt smuggler hero.

(use gogle translate: https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Krpan_z_Vrha )

That one is fictional ...

Chris Hadfield immediately came to mind:

Chris Hadfield immediately came to mind:

Nothing screams more "I finger little girls" than that mustache.

Does Hitler count?

True heroes aren't people that are respected.
They are objects of ridicule...derision, and scorn. Standards of honor, courage, self-sacrifice, and high ideals...to fight the good fight, not because they have to, but because they choose to....is just something that nobody cares about anymore.

[Azgraal]

Afonso Henriques, of the House of Burgundy, 13th Count of Portucale and first King and founder of Portugal.

All glory be unto him.
