I just wonder had he lived what he would be saying right now about the war. Certainly a sad situation.

Who knows? I just hope that Freepers don't start trashing him if it turns out that Tillman was against the Iraq war.

I doubt that freepers will start to trash him. In fact I am sure that we won't. We are unlike our counterparts on the left, who absolutely trashed his name , calling him babykiller, fool, jock, musclehead etc... Remember the Ted Rall cartoon? That of course was before this little bit of info on him possibly being against the war. Now he will be their darling. They will do what they are chastising repubs for doing. Using his memory for political gains. Bastards.

"I just hope that Freepers don't start trashing him if it turns out that Tillman was against the Iraq war."

I contend that this is completely irrelevant. He died in Afghanistan, serving our country. He's not a hero because he died, he's a hero because of the way he attempted to support a unit that was pinned down by ENEMY fire. The fact he was killed by friendly fire, though tragic, does not change anything.

RIP, Thank you for your service, Pat Tillman.
