that's a bit shallow of you.

Would you have given up guaranteed millions and a nice life to go crawling around in the dirt because you WANTED too? I doubt I could.

We should find some of the Rangers within his platoon or company and see if THEY think they are getting short shifted or the families of those other Rangers too. Some people wouldnt even know what the Army Rangers were without Tillman.

His sacrifice, along with all other military deaths, are to be honored. Tillman gave up a lot to get there and then paid the ultimate price. We shouldnt act like this is short shifting other Rangers because he was unique, because it isnt.

"that's a bit shallow of you."

We'll have to disagree on that. The ONLY thing that distinguishes him from the others is the NFL.

(AND you forgot to name some other Rangers, like I asked)
