But you cheapen his death by putting a political spin on it. There was no political spin. Read the post again. Tillman died fighting the people who attacked us on 9/11. He had been a brilliant student, had a bright future, and gave it up to defend people, many of whom can't form an appreciation for it. My son is in the process of enlisting for precisely the same reasons. His attitude is that if freedom is worth having it is worth fighting for. People like him are what made this country great. People who don't appreciate people like him are what drags it down.

The "chickenshik fucts" that you talk about are the chickenhawk members of the Bush admin that would pee their pants in 3 seconds of combat. But love to say "bring them on" to our the folks that are trying to kill our troops. My guess is you are as big a piece of sh-t as they are. John, you are so right.......well said. The DRs, Bushes and Cheneys were too chickensh*t to fight in the 70s but they are all so willing to start wars now when they can sit in their lounge chairs, comfortably sipping a beer and watching shock and awe on the idiot box. They should be forced to look at all the pics of Iraqis and Americans who have been killed and maimed in this war. There are thousands and its no where near ending. And yet they persist with their flawed dreams of conquest. And then there comes along a football player who sacrifices his multi million dollar NFL contract to fight in Afghanistan..........well, SOB, now that's a real American hero. Not a 'loser' with a nothing job back in the states, Tillman was a big man with a bitchin' wife and 4 SUVs, 5 big screens and a rifle slung on the back of his pickup. He fulfilled all their trivial fantasies.........he gave up the good life to fight for his country. Now Tillman's death definitely counts.......the others? Well let's just say some of us reproduce like cockroaches and they can be replaced. But then there's the twisted finale......not only did these buttholes suck Tillman into their fantasy but them they turned around and killed him in friendly fire.......as if they had pulled the trigger themselves. Such irony! End of story!
