Re: OT - Tribute to a hero
just wondering, why EXACTLY do you consider this man a "hero" ?
I for one define "hero" by other words/abilities/things

Aye, Godspeed!
Anyone who makes through Ranger school IS special.

Re: OT - Tribute to a hero
Any death is a tragedy, but I can't say anything else without getting political.

My brother almost made it through Ranger school (while I do not support his actions) but the hair person gave him a bad cut and his lead guy (forgot the name) asked him if he got it cut, my brother said yes but the guy thought he was lying so he kicked him out of it.

Re: OT - Tribute to a hero
Anyone feeling the urge to get political in this issue, just remember a couple things. Tillman signed up after 9/11 before things got started in Iraq. While he did some time in Iraq, he didn't ask to go there. And when he died it was fighting Al-queda and Taliban remnants in Afghanistan, not in Iraq.
Regardless of you feel about the rightness or wrongness of the war in Iraq or the administration policies in general, most of the world supported the decision to go into Afghanistan. That's the cause Tillman walked away from his privelaged life for, and that's the cause he died for.

That ranks as one of the stupidest things i've heard.
