I remember reading about him a year or so ago... and how him and his brother both gave up careers in football to fight in the middle-east.
Dajesus said:I may have missed the boat on this, but has every one heard what Simieon Rice said about Tillman? For those that missed it when he left Rice said "Tillman wasn't a very good football player thats why he made the descion he did. He was probably watching Rambo and got all excited." Thoose are some big words for someone that is sitting watching it all go down in his multi million dollar house. I guess I can't bash him to bad because it would be against the values that Tillman died for. He is a true hero, and I think all of Ameica's hearts are with his family.

it's obvious that we have finish these wars now: Iraq and Afghanistan. We can't bring the troops now, but people have to understand that this is Afghanistan. The Soviet Union lost more than 15,000 troops over fifteen years. We have to finish what we started, we can't back out now. Al Qaida started this, we have to finish it. The only shame is that George Bush has wasted all this time, resources, and the lives of great men such as Pat Tillman. He's clearly not competent enough to get this done in a satisfactory manner. Iraq has been a complete debacle, Why didn't they send more troops!? Bush was playing POLITICS!!! Vote this incompetent out of the white house, and let's get somebody that has some sort of notion of Geopolitics. Shame on Bush!Section126 said:First of all, tell Pat Tillman's family that this was a phoney war......and to bring the troops home would be the ultimate slap in the face of Pat Tillman as well as in essence making his death be in vain.
Words don't describe how offensive these comments are to those that have loved ones serving overseas right now.
IceStorm said:Let me preface this by saying one thing. I'm not going to read 8 pages of messages. I found some that offended me. First off this message was made a sticky for Pat Tillman that gave his life for his country. Why anyone is making a bigger deal out of this one patriot over another is beyond me. Is Pat Tillman more of a hero then those others that went before him? Of course not. So this thread should not be just for him, and shame on those that limit it to just one soul that gave the ultimate price for our freedom.
Next, to the asshats that start taking this into a political debate.....Go F yourself. How dare you take the death of an American fighting for his country and turn it into some debate that you think you have a voice in. Shame on you. YOu want to talk about it, FINE. JOin up, have a few terrorists kill your family, and THEN say you think it's wrong to protect ourselves.
I know this forum is not only American. But to some of you people turning the death of a patriot into a soap box for your views, shut up. Some of us have been there. If you weren't big enough to defend your country, people you've never met, your family, your way of life, yourself....then you don't have a say outside of the vote you have for president.
God Bless America and those that defend her faith.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing, which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than him." -- John Stewart Mill (1806-1873)
