Tillman gave his life for freedom and was killed by friendly fire.

How does that make his life not-positive???

Tillman was a hero.

I guess he could have stayed home and continued to play a sport for millions and complain about the disadvantages in life he had to overcome. Like most thugs in major leagues do today. Yet instead he decided to put his life on the line for the country he loved.

Mind you, Tillman was not supposed to make the college team, then he was not drafted, signed as a free agent, and became a prowl player for the cardinals before walking away from the NFL for peons like the pinhead author of the book you read, who belittled his existence.

I know of many men who did the same thing, I guess their life was a wasted unpostive thing also in the mind of who ever wrote that book.

Tillman, one day I shall meet you in heaven brother in arms.

Tillman gave it all in the area on Saturday and Sunday. Busted his hind end to becocome what the scouts said he was not. He was a monster in the NFL. SACRIFICED EVERYTHING he had achieved because he felt his personal achievements were nothing in comparison to his countries calling. America needs a more Pat Tillmans and less woke authors.
