Not callous. Just obligations.

Yes..I mean I know you are right. My CHL instructor mentioned a fellow who drew on a man (waco/kileen?)outside a court room who fired on his own son. The CHl was killed, being a hero. The instructor said, you are not a hero. No parent should bury their child. Draw only if your life, or your familes life is on the line. Everything else leaves you parents without a son, a wife without a husband, and kids without a father.

I respect our military and vets more than anything else in the world. If Hemizygotes story proved true, I would call him a Hero. That being said...I would never without need put myself in the line of fire and risk not being a father to my baby. 5 years ago? Probably.

I'm not sure on that. Me, I am not running towards gunfire. I have a wife and baby. I'm their "hero", and they come first. I cannot justify running into something to save a stranger when you may die and leave an orphan and widow behind. I'm not trying to sound callous, it is just my opinion.
