I do agree that Ranger Tillman's Life was no better than any other person that has been killed in both of these wars. Yes Ranger Tillman did a very patriotic thing by quitting pro football to go to war but that alone does not make him better than any other person that went or is there now. Ranger Tillman did not deserve to die the way he did but he was not any better than any of the rest.
You may ask who am I to say this, Well I have been to both Iraq and Afghanistan, with the military and as a contractor. I have held members of my own squad in my arms as they spoke their last words on this earth.
Some would say that because Ranger Tillman was in a Ranger unit he was better than other men. I say bullshit... I can say that because I served with the 1st Ranger bn, 3rd Ranger bn, as well as being a Ranger instructor. Just to name a few units I have served with. I have never felt and would never put my life above another mans because of my training or what units I have served with. Every life is the same in value...
