Oh sonava*****! Please excuse my ignorance. I just realized upon further reading that he sacrificed his future for me, my family, friends, and the security and longevity of nobel ideals for all the world, not just America.  So I'll drink a few cold ones for SPC Pat Tillman. And to him I pay the highest compliment in this lowly pogue's lexicon. He was a good soldier.

It never ceases to amaze me how many losers come into a thread like this and feel it is all about them and their opinions and politics rather than all about the man someone has chosen to pay tribute to.


Unless you were an outstanding athlete, in high school, college, and professionally, all while maintianing a 3.7+ GPA,  then while a pro turned down an offer of triple your salary in order to be loyal to the team who gave you your first shot, then turned down more money than 99.9% of all people will ever see in order to go serve your country, and finally paid the ultimate price,....................


THEN THIS THREAD IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT, ALL ABOUT YOU, YOUR POLITICS, AND YOUR OPINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just read this...it was in the news here.

What a brave man.  Someone who could truly call himself a citizen of his country.

His family and his country ought to be very proud of him.

But he gave up all the money (which people demonise americans for beliving in) to make the ultimate sacrifice. And that blows the 'American' stereotype.

The man was a true hero in my book.
