I am so glad I'm not under the microscope. I wouldn't survive a day. I was military. I've been on the dole!! I have tragedies. I have estranged family who would sell me out for pennies and anger. Oh noes, Mr Seagoon was in the military!! Etc etc etc
The press is totes into black and white thinking, everyone is either all good or all bad, there is no nuance.
I think they build up the pedestals just so they can topple them.
And all for ratings and sales.

Yeah, you couldnโt pay me to want any of that.
100% agree. It's easy to judge people from a distance. Who knows what the reality is?
No one is perfect. And to pretend otherwise is misguided at best. We are all people, capable of the most and least noble actions.
Should we take a magnifying glass to anyone's life, myself included, there would no doubt be plenty to deride them for.
