Perhaps it’s an American attribute, a latent sense of “rugged individualism”, but there is a tendency in our thing to attribute supernatural qualities to our mythical, historic, and even our contemporary heroes, forgetting that they too needed a lot of support – “I’ll never be as great as them.” This is wrong.
The greatest men in history were just bro’s being bro’s. Some may get the limelight for a time but the story is ultimately about all of our people.
