I disagree with Gonzalez. I sincerely doubt Tillman's reasons were in any way influenced by Rambo or Clint Eastwood; more likely they were influenced by an ingrained desire to serve his country. His death is a tragedy, and he should be honored in the same way that all persons who serve their country should be honored.
Though I do not stand behind our President, I utterly stand behind our troops. If Gonzalez wishes to be angry, he should focus his anger on politicians. Dishonoring a dead soldier who died in service to his country is neither appropriate nor intelligent. Gonzalez should have focused his anger at politicians turning Tillman's death into a tool; not attacked the dead man for doing what he felt was right.
