Can we stay on the subject please?
If anything to honor SGT Tillman and all the others who have PAID for our freedoms.

How often is a thread about something that serious mis-titled or given an improper subject. Only by those who have no serious intentions.

If it was "Jesus defined", about something that hundreds of thousands of millions have done... oh, that'd be derailed real quick like.

Its you who don't get it, he was a patriot... he was no more "patriotism defined" than those past, present or future. I don't recall Jessica Lynch being "Patriotism defined".

I have an easy solution to help you get over the title of the thread: although I doubt the title is what is eating at you.

Pretend the title says "Pat Tillman" instead of "Patriotism Defined" Then would it make it all better for you?

There is a thread titled "Pat Tillman" in the General Forums with much the same content. Does that bother you too? The same content, just a different title?

As well she should not be LOL.
The poor girl was injured in a humvee crash while running away from the fight.

SGT Tillman on the other hand was killed chasing the enemy down.

Now the above is just an example on how someone can take a few words written buy someone and turn it into something stupid.

Can we not all agree that SGT Tillman was a special man ?

And can we not all agree that ALL service men are special as well?

This is not the proper thread to agree about anything, take it elsewhere. Start a thread about agreeing, but don't rain on this one.

p.s. Make sure your new thread exactly conforms to the title.

Sorry MrBlack, I'm afraid that one of your personalities will want to beat me up.

Nuke, like I said - I don't read anything in the General Discussion forums. However, if the thread title were "A Real Patriot" - no, I'd have no problems. It is what it states. He showed himself a real patriot, rather than defined it. Definitions are all we have, you may like to go changing them to fit the popular/media sensation of the day... I choose to honor those who have, are, and will be patriots.

Going to bed, will see how this thread is doing tommorrow.

None of what you said had anything to do with this thread.
Indeed it was just a silly attempt at a highjacking.

Wich given the subject I think you should be ashamed of your self.
