Holier than thou?? Get off that. I am not a religous person. At all.

You bought it up so I just figured I’d shatter your illusions as usual…

Who took on the uniform. He was killed in a tragic accident and we will probably never know all the details of it.

Let him rest in peace and stop using the dead for mouthpieces. Mother ShitSheehan needs to do the same thing to.
MOVE ON.

As far as the tillman thing goes, maybe you should use this neat thing I use often called “google” before just making up your opinion based on nothing.

Tillman joined the war to fight in Afghanistan after 9/11 because he was a true patriot, not some vapid, shallow, overpaid sports figure. He then oddly enough found himself later in Iraq, a war he wanted no part of, but followed orders and did his job anyway, because again, he was a true patriot.

That article was from the nation as far as I can tell, and has been republished many other places, not just some anti-war site. There’s more as well, how about his family? Can they speak for him?

Tillman’s mother clarified, explaining that her son believed the Afghanistan war was justified by the September 11th attacks but “Pat was very critical of the whole Iraq War.” Another friend, who served with him, recalled how Tillman admonished fellow Rangers to vote Bush out of office in the forthcoming presidential election.

And any link from the Iraqi Vets Against the War is suspect. I find it very interesting that if Tillman was so very interested in Chomsky and was anti-war, that he would leave his multi-million dollar job to join the military to go and fight, a war. It seems to me that the anti-war establishment is trying to turn Tillman into their posterboy for the anti-war movement. Too bad he is dead and we only have hear-say evidence that he thought the war was “illegal”, long before the entire “missing WMDs” and the “Bush lied” mantra had any teeth. I wonder if Mr. Baer himself might be a member of IVAW?

“He was an avid reader whose interests ranged from history books…to works of leftist Noam Chomsky, a favorite author.” Tillman had very unembedded feelings about the Iraq War. His close friend Army Spec. Russell Baer remembered, “I can see it like a movie screen. We were outside of [an Iraqi city] watching as bombs were dropping on the town…. We were talking. And Pat said, ‘You know, this war is so f***ing illegal.’ And we all said, ‘Yeah.’ That’s who he was. He totally was against Bush.”"

Don’t you ever get tired of being so wrong?

And the very fact that he did serve and gave up so much to do so makes me respect him, regardless of the “friendly-fire” screw up and subsequent “cover-up”.

Ofcourse, I don’t expect many from up north of our border to understand that. The canadian military has been a joke for years, a shadow of the greatness it was during WWII. So sad.:cry:
