I think probably either Admiral Lord Nelson or the Duke of Wellington.

Two real life precursors of the Chuck Morris meme.

I want to say Jennifer Hale. Wendee Lee, and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn are my heroes for getting roles as some strong, but sexy females.

But for people I actually know: my sisters. I know my older sister will be there when I'm down and it always makes me happy to see her no matter what mood I may be in.  She's also the least judgemental person I know despite her deep religious feelings.

Then my younger sister because for my mom and dad's kids, she's the first one to be finishing college and for something she's passionate about. I am proud of her and I wish I could have done the same by now. And in the future, I hope to do something I truly want, it doesn't have to be going to college.

My parents.
Both my mother and father are very similar in personality and I really do look up to them. No one else understands me but them and they are always supportive of me regardless of what I want to do in life along with the choices I make. My friends from school just come and go, but my parents are always by my side. I really learned a lot from them.

Muhammad > Jesus, historical or legendary, as a prophet or a philosopher.

Muhammad was also a brilliant statesman, general, and entrepreneur. Jesus was a better carpenter though.

It's just that Jesus somehow attracted a lot more violent followers in the 2,000 years after he was dead.

Muhammad also was a peadophile, he took his best friends daughter at the age of 6 but didn't consumate the marrage until she was 13.

If I had to choose it would be the man who controlled half the known world, and his riders could travel 200 miles a day on horse back without stopping. The only man to invade Afghanistan and beat them and raised all their cities. His name was Temujin or better known as Genghis Khan.

Do we have to be actively rude and vile about stuff other people might hold dear (stuff that doesn't even matter to us)?

It's not hard to avoid is it?

Gorilla199, if it weren't for him I wouldn't know that EA and Bioware are run by Free Masons and Tares. (You can tell by the flying saucer symbolism in EA's logo.)

Don't really have any heroes, to be honest.

One of the most inspiring heroes of World War Two, Lt Commander Ernerst Evans, USN

During the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history, Lt Commander Evans was the commander of the USS Johnston, one of a few small destroyers and destroyer escorts tasked with protecting 6 escort carriers. When a larger Japanese attacking force that included battleships and cruisers (ships that heavily outclassed the Johnson and the other destroyers and destroyer escorts) made a flanking maneuver that put the carriers at risk, Commander Evans led the Johnston and the rest of the destroyers and destroyer escorts in a desperate and suicidal charge of the Japanese force. The Johnston and the other charging ships had no chance of survival, but they sacrificed themselves to buy enough time for the carriers to escape and managed to cause so much damage to the Japanese force, that the commanding Japanese Admiral thought he was being attacked by Cruisers.

When the gallant USS Johnston finally sank beneath the waves, her Captain and crew were saluted by the commander of one of the Japanese vessels, and some of the Japanese sailors followed suit.

In one of the most awe-inspiring displays of reckless bravery WWII has to offer the history books, Cmdr. Evans, three-fourths Cherokee from Oklahoma, led his destroyer, the USS Johnston, straight into the face of a gargantuan Japanese naval fleet, on 25 October 1944, off Samar Island, in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

He was part of a very small fleet designed to support the marines currently assaulting Leyte. This fleet had 3 destroyers, very small ships, 4 destroyer escorts, even smaller, and 6 escort carriers, with only about 30 planes each. The fleet was not expecting a naval engagement because Adm. Halsey’s much larger fleet was supposed to be guarding the north flank. Halsey, however, had gone after another Japanese fleet and left the flank open.
Down came another Japanese fleet intent on destroying the marines on Leyte. Task Unit 77.4.3 (Taffy 3) initially tried to flee the area when confronted by such massive force. Evans, however, refused to yield to the enemy. As soon as the Johnston sighted the enemy, Evans came over the intercom, “A large Japanese fleet has been contacted. They are fifteen miles away and headed in our direction. They are believed to have four battleships, eight cruisers, and a number of destroyers. This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can.”

He ordered the Johnston to come about and attack at flank speed, charging the entire fleet alone. When Adm. Sprague, in charge of Taffy 3, saw this, he laughed and said, “Well, what the hell. You gotta die of something. Small boys attack.”

The rest of the destroyers and destroyer escorts turned and followed the Johnston, and the Japanese opened fire with 18.1 inch guns, 16 inch guns, 14 inch guns, 8 and 6 inch guns, blasting up the water on both sides of the Johnston. Astoundingly, Evans conned the ship through the splashes in a zigzag until he was within range with his 5 inch guns, which could not penetrate the hulls of the IJN’s battleships and cruisers. He ordered fire concentrated on the upper decks to do the most damage, and this succeeded in knocking down the superstructures and setting the ships afire.

Then the Johnston fired torpedoes and blew the bow off the Kumano, a heavy cruiser, which necessitated another cruiser leaving the fight to assist evacuation. Finally, the Japanese scored hits, a 14 incher, and three 6 inchers, which went clean through the entire vessel without detonating. The first knocked out half the engine power and the electricity to the aft gun turrets.

Evans was struck by one of the blasts and had 2 fingers ripped from his left hand and his shirt burned off.
The Johnston was crippled, but still refused to withdraw and set out a smoke screen. The other destroyers and escorts arrived and every man was consigned to death in order to enable the escort carriers to escape.
By the time it was over, the Johnston had slugged it out with titanic battleships and cruisers, and a line of 4 IJN destroyers, driving the latter off, until another salvo knocked the engine out and detonated several 5 inch shells in the forward magazine.

The Johnston was dead in the water and the IJN surrounded it and fired from all sides. Incredibly, Evans refused to order “abandon ship” until all remaining rounds had been fired, even the starbusts, which are like flares, and the sandbag rounds for practice. When the Japanese passed the survivors in the water, they threw them food and water and saluted them, shouting, “Samurai! Samurai!”

Evans was not among the survivors pulled from the water after the battle.

Lieutenant General Chesty Puller, USMC, considered by many to the be the greatest marine that ever lived. He was the sort of man I wish I could be.

Should've joined the military out of high school, when I had the chance :\\ Now I'm sitting a damn cubicle doing something that doesn't matter.

I assume that was normal back then in that specific culture. Don't apply our morality to another culture.

As soon as I put someone in the Hero category they take that as a cue to fail. It is oddly comforting when it happens, makes me more forgiving of myself.
