"Pat Tillman is not a hero: He got what was coming to him"

Tell this wanna-be journalist the...

Who the hell is Pat Tillman?

One of the true heros in the war on terrorism. A former pro football star
that gave up a 3.5 million dollar contract to serve his country (without
fanfare, it must be added). He was recently killed in action in Afghanistan.
He was posthumously awarded a promotion to corporal.. so he didn't even go
in as an officer, just a regular enlisted stiff. These are the people I
respect, even if in some circumstances I may not agree with their being
where they are (Afghanistan is not one of those, however). He's receiving
way more attention than he would have wanted.. but I feel the recognition is
appropriate. I think that all those who die in the service of our country
should receive the same wide recognition.


I totally agree. Pat did what he believed was right and didn't care
about the money. As for this Gonzalez, maybe he is an illegal Mexican
and we can take his green card that he probably got with a fake ID
away from him. ;^)
