Re: OT - Tribute to a hero
Now that I read all your opinions, I may be forced to reconsider my own. Perhaps he was a hero. At the very least, he was a good man, who had his life senselessly cut short, and no one deserves that. A hero to me is someone willing to give up a lot, in favor of the morally right course. I'm not sure if joining the military is morally right, but regardless of that, I respect all of you who regard the man as a hero. I think that if everyone had the same qualities as Tillman, the world would be a much better place. If we were all willing to take a bullet for someone else, even though we may die, the world would be a much better place for my children to grow up in (when I have children of course, which I don't now). Personally, I think I would take a bullet for someone else, and would that make me a hero? I think not. It would simply make me human. And I think that Tillman may not be a hero, but simply more human than the rest of the world.
I hope that made sense to you all, I'm not trying to step on any toes here or anything, nor am I trying to derail the thread or offend anyone. I'm simply stating my opinion.
