I attended the same High School as Pat Tillman, a true American hero, who did not deserve to die in Afghanistan, and certainly not in the way in which he did...
If you have the chance, please go see the new movie, "The Tillman Story". It should change your life, or at the very least, your perception of some in the government and military, who first used Pat Tillman, and his subsequent death, for propaganda purposes, but then covered up the true circumstances of his death/fratricide:
Quote:
Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002?and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media.
And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat?s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family?s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son?s life and death.

RIP Pat Tillman...
