Wow this is some story. This guy made a huge monetary sacrifice and then the ultimate sacrifice.

ESPN story here: Pat Tillman story here.

Amazing individual,but another very sad story.

I am a huge football fan and remembered when he joined the rangers. I was just thinking the other day if he was actually in combat or not. It is very sad with all of the people being killed everyday. To avoid turning this into a political issue, I will stop with that statement.

I believe he was killed in Afghanistan.

 

[Tractors4u]

The first report I heard said Iraq and even after I read the story and saw Afghanistan, I still typed Iraq.

He is an American hero, as are the others, though not famous, who have fought, and some who have paid the ultimate price in the war on terror. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Is it me, or does THIS GUY need to be flogged?

I'm all for freedom of speech... but in my opinion, this is pretty disgraceful and very disrespectful as my guess is, this writer is exercising some of the very rights that others have given their blood up for so he COULD exercise those rights.

No, he just needs to grow up.

This is not a political post.

Shame on that newspaper, the "Daily Collegian" for running that editorial which is ONLY based on the way one person looked like to another. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
