It seems to me that such grandstanding would be wholly inappropriate. Tillman made his choice, it stands as is, and we certainly don't need a bunch of people running around weepy-eyes over his death. Frankly, I suspect the scenario proposed here is exactly the opposite of what Tillman would want.

I would have no problem with Winslow making that speech, privately, off-camera to a group of servicemen.

Exactly. Tillman refused to give interviews about serving in the Army, and it's slightly ironic that everyone is now going around talking about all kinds of public tributes to the guy, when the evidence seems to show that public adulation is the last thing Tillman would want.

IMO, that's the true mark of a hero.

Would it bother you if I get weepy eyed whenever one of our fighters is killed? I know they volunteered,but I am grateful for their service and mindful it is my country they fight for.

They were choosing to watch my back and I am humbled to be served by such warriors as these.
