don't know of any heroic deeds that Hitler did. Do you?

My definition of hero includes general morality..... If we adopt your definition of just being brave or inspirational, then you would be hypocritical not too. He was a combat veteran who eventually went on to be the leader of his country. By your definition that's not heroic?

didn’t say he was a hero, that was dagwoodiii a bit upthread

"I’d say that those heroic deeds by definition makes them a hero, even if it’s only in a narrow context as “American naval warfare”."

I’d say there’s more heroism than being brave or inspirational, but eh. This conversation is clearly going nowhere — have a great weekend.
