Bradley Manning is a hero.

Calling everyone who served a hero does nothing but lower our standard for what a hero should be.

Exactly! There are many heroes in the military who go through hell and back to protect their country and save their fellow men. Those are the ones who deserve the title of a hero. To call every soldier or veteran a hero makes the word "hero" lose its meaning.

I agree with you on the hero part, but every person who at one point in the past served in the military is by definition a veteran.
