Yep, you read that headline right. Chris Hayes, of MSNBC's Sunday
morning show "Up with Chris Hayes," says he's uncomfortable ascribing
valorous terms to fallen military because it's "rhetorically proximate
to justifications for more war." Just...watch:

Sorry, Chris, but anyone willing to sacrifice his or her life for your
right to say whatever you want on your Sunday morning talk show is a
hero. There is no incorrect way to "marshal" that word when speaking
about the men and women who value the principles of our nation above
their own lives. Calling them what they are -- heroes -- is a small
way to recognize their bravery. It's hardly justification for more
war; it's just one way we can say thank you to our soliders.

The fact is, our soldiers are our greatest heroes, and they deserve
our utmost respect for their willingness to sacrifice their time and
their lives for us. Yes, Chris, you are wrong -- after all, the reason
we celebrate this Memorial Day holiday is to honor our fallen heroes.
