"The kind of character that earns men acclaim as heros"

Not in the UK. In the UK you have to consider this "Heroes" campaign they have goin on for some years now. Superficially it presents as a 'caring' charity which heals the heroes, houses the heroes, sings soppy songs about the heroes to make money to heal and home the heros, yet this campaign is a cynical mercantile tool functioning twofold: a) to alleviate the government of their economic obligations to their hired men, and b) to function as a PR tool and hiring campaign. After all who doesn't want to be a hero?
