I can't abide Tom "paranoid Scientology cultist" Cruise. This is more of a disgrace to Tillman and what he stood for than an honour.

While this awards show *is* an appropriate venue, I still believe the Media overplayed his sacrifice as a play on his celebrity while other fallen war heros are all but ignored.

Which is made all the more sad because Tillman himself did his best to make himself just one of the troops, even refusing the Army's request to use his enlistment for recruiting and promotional purposes.
