But I'm sure Hristo and the rest of the European contingent of AlQaeda will be along shortly to set us right about this brave man and urge us to praise the true freedom fighters....

Big <<>> to him, and condolences to his family. Now this is even more than patriotism, it is putting (and giving) his life to the service of democracy.

Tillman stared for an Arizona State football team that had a chance to win the National Championship.

After being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, he passed up a chance at a 5 year, $9 million contract with the St. Louis Rams because he felt he owed the state of Arizona something. So he took a 1 year contract to play with the god-awful Cardinals instead of the (then) Champion Rams.

When the US invaded Afghanistan, Tillman quit playing football to join the US Army and try out for the Rangers. He was making over a million dollars a year with the Cardinals. He felt it was his duty.

When people talk about men who are willing to put duty and country above themselves, they mean Pat Tillman.

My condolences to the family. A good man is gone.

 To tillman and every american who has lost their lives overseas the past few years.



on a sidenote going to afghanistan to risk your life, or playing for for the cardinals. Not a hard choice there.
