A hero is defined as someone having done something heroic, but doesn't mean they are not assholes.

On the other hand, those that plug away day in and day out in difficult circumstances, don't complain, don't whine about their lot, try to help other people - they are the amazing ones. [/quote] The amazing ones are called role models and usually means they are not assholes.

Actually, being a role model is harder than being a hero.
