I understand the point he is trying to make, showing he sacrificed money to join the war is disturbing to me. I think they should report on everysoldier who dies in combat and it is shamefull of the news to turn their backs on the other 100 or so soldiers that died last month in fighting to highlight the story of a single young man. I can't speak for Tillman but I assume he wanted to do what he felt was right for his country and I hope he understood the risks involved but every soldier who dies in combat in my eyes has sacrificed equally and deserves our admiration for what they accomplished for all of us. To call Tillman a hero is to disrespect those who died along side with him.
