When I hear the word hero, two names instantly come to mind: John McClane from the Die Hard series, and Johnny Rico from the movies Starship Troopers and Starship Troopers 3: Marauder. The one I chose to write about is Johnny Rico. In the movie Starship Troopers, Rico is part of the mobile infantry where they are at war with another species where he works his way from privte all the way up to lieutenant and finally colonel in the third movie. Throughout both the movies, Rico shows his dedication and willing to surpass all others in any way he can, to be considered the "best". He may not be a super one man army, but to be good enough to have countless men follow you to sometimes almost certain death, well that adds the super to his hero title. Even in the end of the first movie and all throughout the third, his fellow citizens recognize him as "The Hero of Planet P"(Got to see the movie to understand all of that) and when rico tried to be modest about his accomplishment the Sky Marshall, equivilent to our Commander in Chief, recited a quote that was very fitting to the word hero, "Heroes inspire Courage and Sacrifice, asking us to be better in what we are." This quote is a direct definition on why we need heroes.
