Editor’s note: MSNBC host Chris Hayes has now issued an apology of sorts for his comments on Sunday. To see the videos and read the transcripts of Sunday’s broadcast, please scroll down. To read what Hayes posted as an apology, click here.

MSNBC is not known as a network that sympathizes with the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, but this Memorial Day weekend, rather than put aside their political differences to salute our men and women in uniform, a panel on Chris Hayes’ show instead engaged in a debate over how to refer to our fallen soldiers.
Specifically, the panel debated over using words like “hero” because– in their words– the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t “worthy” causes.
Chris Hayes introduces the issue:
“I feel uncomfortable about the word ‘hero’ because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that…”
Watch the clip below, via Newsbusters:
John McWhorter of the New York Daily News continued: “…I would almost rather not say ‘hero’ and come up with a more neutral term…I share your discomfort with those words because they are argumentational strategies in themselves, often without wanting to be.”

Michelle Goldberg of the Daily Beast, who recently compared Ann Romney to Hitler and Stalin on the same network, added: “There are people who are genuine heroes, but the kind of implication is that death is what makes you a hero, you know as opposed to any kind of affirmative act or moral act…”
After reassuring that there is honor and valor in the military, Goldberg said: “It’s more just that, it’s a way of ennobling sacrifices that have a lot of nobility for the individual, but to say that someone kind of died heroically suggests that they died worthily, or that they died in the pursuit of a worthy endeavor…” [Emphasis added]

OK so on this point I will say….My our GREAT God RICHLY bless ALL of our HEROES in the military!
They are sacrificing on purpose their lives (not just their physical being but all they could be doing instead of serving US)!!!
Now to your post…..
I do not believe they will “always” be heroes. I do see a day coming when our kids who serve in the military will be used to enforce tyranny…
I am a vet … ( tho I did not serve in war time…) I do understand what this sacrifice really is….it’s time.
And yes you may also loose your very life but at this stage in history you are not LIKELY to loose your life but that does not diminish the fact that you may.
Our young men and women will soon I fear be ordered to “secure” our neighborhoods and when that happens they will no longer be our heroes but our enemy….I do pray that will not be for a few generations but I rather doubt it…….
I do wish our officer corps would be trained in our constitution and not just in their ability to follow orders….I hope on that day they realize they are our neighbors and refuse those orders.
But again I doubt it……
My God keep our republic…

Security Council condemning Syria for continuing the murder of its’ civilian population. Unfortunately, our current Administration from the top down (and I DO mean the TOP down) is comprised of those who would have no disagreement with any of the comments offered. Their view of a “hero” is a limp wristed, purse carrying, mamma’s boy who is in touch with his feminine side who is non-judgemental about ANYONE and believes that enemies of our Country are either misunderstood or justified in their attacks on Americans anywhere, anytime. They can easily be spotted in shopping malls carrying a baby on their chest while pushing a stroller while his wife is shopping. Yep, now THERE’S a “hero” to the Left.

Posted on May 28, 2012 at 9:52amOn this Memorial day let’s remember the US Sailors slaughtered at the hand of the Israeli dogs on the USS Liberty even though the Media helps Israel cover it up because of the bad publicity we can still honor our fallen heroes that were on the USS Liberty.
They never thought that the US Gov‘t would turn their backs upon them for the sake of making Israel look good but that’s the price one pays when you are controlled by Jewish money..
So how many believe that the Israeli dogs sole intention was to sink the USS Liberty and blame it upon the Egyptians? Do you think they never heard the SOS calls or saw the large American flag aboard the ship? Even when they kept coming back machine gunning the American sailors as they were in desperation? Think they never understood what they were doing?
Personally I believe they intended to sink the USS Liberty entirely and then use their Media to blame it on Egpyt.. Because that’s how they roll…. War through Deception! Never forget it!
Israel must be brought to Justice for their slaughtering of American Sailors and the rest of their acts of Terrorism!

Posted on May 28, 2012 at 1:18pmThey’re not only heroes; they’re real Americans, and I doubt the patriotism of these communist lefties on PMSMBC, to use a an acronym coined by Rush. Incidentally, all presidents from Truman through Bush W had military service, with the exceptions of draft-dodger, communist clinton and communist obama. It’s sad that someone who took great pains to illegally dodge the draft would become commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. What a disgrace! I just read that the military people hugely favor Romney; no surprise there.

Posted on May 28, 2012 at 1:26pmI realize that I am in the minority here, and I do believe that it is heroic to sign up to risk ones life for country, but I believe that in a broader context (outside of the MSNBC political opinions of Iraq and Afghanistan) isn’t it fair to ask if the national sentiment that “if the military does it, it must be good, and moral” is a contributing factor to our profligate wars and march down the road to serfdom
History provides us with examples of how socialists have used American respect for our troops to further their political objectives (See the history of dialysis and Medicares roots in insurance for veterans).
I believe that in our respect and admiration for the troops, we Americans have lost our objectivity. Rather than looking at things critically, we simply accept any legislation, even if it violates our morals, because its for the troops. How many times have you heard that “the troops want to finish these wars” or “the troops don’t have jobs because of the immigrants“ or ”the troops need a new jobs bill — bailout“ or ”we need socialized medicine for the troops”. The troops have become an excuse for bigger government.
On memorial day we should honor our troops in every way possible, but we should also remember the morals that we believe in, and never sacrifice those; otherwise, what’s the point of our hard won liberties.

To many, it is a day off from work, a day off from school. It is a day for them to get drunk. To some it is a day to remember the hero’s who gave their life. But for the few of us, it is a day to celebrate and remember. It is a celebration in the sense that we get to honor the men, the brothers, who came before us, wh…o paved the way for our generation. It is a day to remember our fallen brothers. The men who would first become our friends, and then our family. The men who gave their life so that one of their brothers could return home to his mom, his dad…their girlfriend, wife, children. There is never enough thanks that can be given to these men…to their families left behind. The pain will forever lie in my heart for these men who have given everything, left family and friends behind with only the memories of what a great man he was. To all of my brothers who have sacrificed all, you are gone but not forgotten. I love you all. And may you rest in peace. Thank you for all that you have done. Semper Fidelis.

Apparently, the one and only day that this country collectively hails these Heroes is just too much of a distraction from their perceived self being. They are not the ones being hailed. If ever a term that has been so watered down and should be the topic of such a discussion is not “Hero,“ but ”racist.” If there was ever a term so overused that it now thought of by many as a mere cliche’.

Posted on May 27, 2012 at 5:27pmReally?! This is annoying. I’m not for the wars as they are being waged and without a declaration/mission statement, either, but those who make the ultimate sacrifce for all of us is the very definition of the word hero. These clowns are working for a douchebag CFR member that’s shaping our foreign policy. Take it up with your owners you POS’s. The fallen are HEROS, and no weenie journalist is going to convince me otherwise. These clowns aren’t even fit to discuss it. …and on Memorial Day weekend to top it off?! Makes me sick.

Posted on May 27, 2012 at 6:01pmYup. It was planned to upset us…probably to try to convince us that the majority of the U.S. feels that way about our soldiers. Obviously, it’s not true, just another slanderous lie from those on the side of evil.
There were a lot of us honoring our Vets Saturday by placing flags & crosses on headstones.
Even guys/gals that have fallen during non-combat scenarios are still heros. Just the fact that these “kids” sign up makes them heros.

Posted on May 27, 2012 at 8:06pmIf you’re not for the wars, how is their sacrifice ”for all of us?” A war would have to serve some purpose that benefits us to be for us, and I assume that if you thought it did you wouldn’t be against it. I’m not saying anything against the troops, just questioning the logic of your choice of words.

Posted on May 28, 2012 at 10:36pmClever phrasing meant to appear to the citizens as necessary for the good of our country? So what other term do they have in mind? The fact is that calling them heros shows the world that we are a proud nation. A country united, A grateful nation to our mlitary men and women. God forbid Oh wait……We can’t say God, that has to be eliminated too. Along with prayer, crosses and Bible studies in our homes, and the Pledge of Alligence.Oh,and we aren’t supposed to say illegal any more either. Don’t forget the appologies that have been made to other countries for our actions. It gets more and more confusing every day. I am sure that the re-written history books will correctly use the “new” terminology so our children will be trained according to the “New World ”agenda that they have planned for us.

Think they like hearing someone say their friends, children, fathers or mothers that have perished were murderers or invaders on the weekend we’re to honor them?
