Brian Tillman
After 9/11, Pat Tillman felt his response to this terrible event, was to take the fight to the Taliban.
I honor Tillman's patriotism and service to a country, sacrificing his life for the greater good.
On the other hand, Stefan Cook, who volunteered to go in Afghanistan in May, then decided to act like Sarah Palin and become a martyr, by refusing to deploy to Afghanistan.
I totally appreciate people have moral problems with war and conflict, in the 60's and 70's millions of americans agonised over whether to serve in Vietnam.
In Bill Clinton's biography, he chronciled his doubts over the legitimacy of the war, and how it tore him in two, on one side, he loved his country, but doubted the morality of the war.
In George W Bush's case, that period of time will be totally erased from his bio, deciding to sit out the war, by joining the Airforce, so he could bolster the air defenses, against Charlie's long ranging bombers posed to South Fork.
People must remember, that the conservative movement told people they couldn't critise Bush over Iraq, because it would be used as properganda by Al Qaeda, and send a signal of weakness.
This week the Taliban and Al Qaeda got a message this week, that there are Americans who are prepared to undermine the Commander in Chief with political stunts.
I hope the Tillman family will ask Cook why he is dishonoring the memory of Pat, and the other fallen heroes, how sacrificed so much.
