Some people claim that all it takes to become a hero is to kill other humans because your political leaders tells you to do it. I know what a real hero looks like: a worker at the Fukushima plant exposing himself to high doses of radiation so that he may save others from disaster; knowing what the radiation will do to him.

Absolutely. Anyone who willingly scrifices their safety for another is a hero.

I had tears in my eyes reading about the volunteers from other firms as well... Still tearing up, actually.
