Simple yes or no question about worth of the individual?

A soldier who wins a medal probably deserves it, but he is also a victim of circumstance. I mean, even if you enlist in the military, you're very unlikely to be in a situation where you'd need to be super brave (or foolhardy).

A hero is not necessarily higher in worth. Our whole civilization is built on the idea that every human has worth, that all men are created equal, that all citizens have the same rights of citizenship, all humans have human rights, etc. (It's true we ignore this principle all the time, but we claim to believe in it. 8^) ).

Receiving a medal for any cause ; shows a good or a special deed

but about worth ;; no

LOts of people had receive a medal ; and they were very bad people in their daily life

IN Canada ;; a army general had receive many medals ;; and he was a serial killer [ and this is true I mean its not a made up story
