[AAP]

he wanted to be a hero. well, now he is...hope it was worth it...

The Administration hoped to manufactor a hero out of his death for their own propaganda purposes... now it is crumbling and the truth is coming out.

i kinda agree there.....i could really give a fuck, though. he's just another member of the armed forces. just as good as the rest & just as dead.....he deserves no other distinctions....

HAHA don't let the wackos here you say that. Remember when I published that list from the paper of the most influential people of the century and his name was on it... and I said it shouldn't have been? Boy those ruffled feathers got pwned for 3 pages by me afterwards arguing about that shit.

idk, most people are driven by the same couple things & greed is a main ingridient in them......always wanting more of something isn't always.....healthy?

he wanted to be a hero.

i doubt it. . .that would be too "thinking inside the box" for him. . .honestly? i don't think he was driven by anything more compelling than a simple sense of duty. . .a damned uncommon trait in today's world.

it's going to be spun a million ways. maybe he thought he was the man to single handedly snag Osama, it's mostly the timing i have a problem with. he could have re-enlisted any time he wanted to...

don't think of tillman as some dumb warmongerer.

he was also a thinker, and it was quite known in his unit - that he was having 2nd thoughts about this war, and was feeling quite used and feeling he was lied to.

and i wonder if that had something to do with his death. rich, white, celebrity, honorable, talking bad about a war. that could be a DoD's worst PR nightmare.

lotsa q's.

Obviously the other guys didn't get the memo. Shouldn't have tried to be a gloryhog.

you have an axe to grind with this guy, why is that?
and lol at calling him a gloryhog, isn't your whole lifestyle based upon your alleged personal/physical glory? seems hypocritical

I've been told by some retired guys that Tillman wasn't the nicest guy in his platoon on top of being a glory hound.

oh no! they're going to 'censure' a retired general!
