Tillman's sacrifice isn't any greater than any other, but, personally, I think his loss is. It takes a very well grounded, thoughtful, and courageous person to walk away from money like that, knowing that what he has chosen may kill him, and I find it thoroughly tragic that the loss of a person like that occured. I could be wrong about him, and I understand that. Just my opinion."Beauty is not in the face...Beauty is a light in the heart." - Kahlil Gibran

* GePap put on his flame retardant suite after seeing whaleboy's postHe'd have to put a little more effort into his stupidity in order to get more than a light tan. Mainly because it's such an obvious troll.

Tillman sounds like a decent sort of fellow — just like the roughly 700 other U.S. soldiers killed between Afghanistan and Iraq.
Do you really want to honor Tillman, Sloww? Then let his deeds stand without the "heroic" commentary. I'm sure it'd be something Tillman would appreciate.

There's a difference in someone who plays weekend warrior and gets caught with his pants down.
Then there's Tillman who had it made and walked away from it all.
If you don't see that, Michael, then you don't.
You can sit there with a stupid look on your face like Sava does.That's a really sh!ty post sloww Tillman made the EXACT same sacrifice as any number of Army or Marine deaths. He didnt give up any more than those that had families back here. I'm sorry that he died, but not any more sorry than to see any other army or marine casuality. Sure he gave up a lot but dont you ****ing dare take anything away from anyone else just because he ran fast and could have made alot of money. There are lots of them out that could have gotten out of going but didnt and had a hell of a lot more reasons to stay here then ****ing money.

I think he was an idiot to choose a life of state-sponsored murder and daily risk over a few million dollars. I would choose living in the gutter over the former. It sucks when people die, no matter what side, but imo, you're an idiot if you get yourself into that situation, the reasons ultimately having the same worth as the dirt you're bleeding in."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

The anti-taliban war made sense. If only the admin would had put all efforts into that, and not side-stepped into Iraq, I would likely still be pro-Bush. But he's not that smart, is he?So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students
