Tillman the Great: An American hero for the ages, not just ours
2004-04-26
Extremely EFL
Money Quote:
"Tillman’s story should be taught in our schools as a contemporary example of patriotic sacrifice. It seems as if he sprang out of the pages of Homer to remind us that the ancient virtues never die, and yet he came from our own age. His sacrifice for America is worthy of an honored place in our history."

#3  Amen. While I have infinite respect for him and he is indeed an inspriation to us all the news guys gushing about him is beginning tee me off. His sacrifice is no greater than any other guy that died in this damned war.

#2  While I have heard him discribed as a Nathen Hale for our time, he is no more of a hreo than any of the others who have made the ultimate sacrifice in OUR name. We owe all of them a debt that we can never repay.

Hahahahahahaha, with large numbers of America-hating sleazoids being employed by our public education system, that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
