A true American hero, and a real man. They don't make many like him these days.

So true. That's because the culture that fostered them has been largely destroyed.

Deliberately.

This country used to produce these men by the millions: braves, strong, smart, manly, yet good and humble. They were the standard.

Now, they are the exceptions in a sea of whiners, douchebags, thugs, hipsters, boys and wimps.

Remember a few years ago when the airline pilot landed his jet in the Hudson? What struck me about the coverage of the incident was the personality of the pilot and the way the media and the public talked about the him-how heroic, brave, cool under pressure, caring and good he was. You could tell from their tone that they recognized-as SWPL and PC as the media are- that here was the sort of man that you just don't see very often anymore.

His beautiful wife was interviewed and it was clear from the way she talked about him that he was not just a man that she loved; he was a man that she admired

This culture is going to have to crash and burn before this sort of man becomes the role model again.
