Re: OT - Tribute to a hero
Anyone feeling the urge to get political in this issue, just remember a couple things. Tillman signed up after 9/11 before things got started in Iraq. While he did some time in Iraq, he didn't ask to go there. And when he died it was fighting Al-queda and Taliban remnants in Afghanistan, not in Iraq.
Regardless of you feel about the rightness or wrongness of the war in Iraq or the administration policies in general, most of the world supported the decision to go into Afghanistan. That's the cause Tillman walked away from his privelaged life for, and that's the cause he died for.
