I Will Continue to Continue, to Pretend.... "Command Post" had to close their tribute thread to Ex-NFL Player Pat Tillman Killed in Afghanistan and purge it because of posts like these. Indymedia - <font size=4> Dumb Jock Killed in Afghanistan hmmm - or, how about, "privileged millionaire, blinded by nationalist mythology, pisses away the good life" maybe he should have intervened when the CIA was training, funding and equiping bin Laden and Al Qaeda during the 80s. that might have actually accomplished something. "Cottled sports star allows nationalism to foster jingoistic irresponsibility resulting in his death" or how about.... "Citizen of empire allows ignorance to cause him to die for imperialism" or maybe...... "Capitalist chooses to kill innocents instead of cashing check" Tillman chose to go to Afghanistan. He's partially reponsible for the deaths of hundreds, maybe thousands of Afghan civilians. No need to feel sorry for him, other than feeling bad that he was brainwashed into serving as a grunt. Interesting how another poster said going to Afghanistan in a crusade to kill people is the _Christian_ thing to do. An extremely high percentage of white Judeo-Christians are violent and condone killing. Brave American" --"brave"???? for going over to Afghanistan completely uninvited and slaughtering brown-skinned people with advanced weaponry? "sacrifices friends, family and fortune" --if he "sacrificed" anything it was his common sense. He had a good American thing going and blew it. "in defense of his country." --see above. What are we "defending" in the totally illegal, unprovoked military invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, again? (oh yeah - OIL.) <font size=3> portland.indymedia.org
