About This Quote
The world is full of people who are constantly reminding you how amazing they are, and how brave they are. They do this to build themselves up so you have to think they are the best thing since sliced bread. If Michael had never gone to Iraq, he would have been regarded as a hero. However, by going to Iraq, he gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
He put himself in danger because he felt it was the right thing to do. He didn’t flaunt what he was doing. He didn’t get himself on television because he was an attention whore.
He didn’t buy himself a new car or a fancy watch. All that money that should be used to promote the war effort was spent instead on things that made him look good.
