A Hero is a person who:
- acts voluntarily
- at great cost or personal risk
- for the benefit of others, or for a moral or ethical principle
- without any expectation of reward
Contrary to popular belief, putting on a military uniform doesn't automatically make you a "hero" any more than wearing hospital scrubs automatically makes you a surgeon. A hero IS as a hero DOES. The last military hero I know of was WO Hugh Thompson. But Bradley Manning certainly qualifies. If you don't know the stories of these two men, you should.
