How, exactly, does misrepresenting his cause of death do him honor?

<Try not to piss on his grave. > Ish, it's the liars and crooks who use death dishonestly for their own ends who do the dishonouring. They are contemptible. They make Silver Stars look counterfeit. Those who hold genuine ones have lost value. "Yeah, yeah, you got a Silver Star", nudge, nudge, wink, wink. You have misunderstood the point. I haven't seen anyone denigrate the person who was killed. I would like to know who made the mistake and starting shooting at friendly forces. For all I know it was Tillman, though for all I know, it wasn't. If the job had been left to highly paid professionals instead of amateur footy players, maybe the mess wouldn't have happened. Drafting people who don't even want to be there would cause even more mess. Mq

The guy died in combat while thinking he was doing right for his country. Try not to piss on his grave. Ish, whenever you get yourself angry about some imaginary or actual slight, you want to wrap yourself in the flag and challenge the other person's integrity. No one has disrespected Pat Tillman and no one would reasonably argue that he didn't show courage, loyalty to his country and passion for our cause. NO ONE. So get on with thinking, and stop wallowing in righteous indignation against positions that you've created out of spite or ignorance.
