Inspired by Cracked.com...The word 'hero' is used too often these days. Especially when you compare them against this guy...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
My favourite bit...
"He finally retired from the army in 1959, with two awards of the Distinguished Service Order, and died in Surrey in 1996. Eccentric until the end, Churchill would toss his briefcase out of the window of the commuter train he rode home every day. Passengers and conductors were shocked because they did not know he was throwing the luggage into his own backyard as the train passed by. It saved him the trouble of carrying it all the way home from the station.
