Reply #146: I've been Amazed and more than a little saddened

[OC_dem]

by some of he things I've read in this discussion:

"Tillman had Rambo fantasies;"

Tillman was like a man who wanted to work in a firing squad;

Tillman was a dupe;

"I believe he was acting out of emotion;"

"worshipping mindless nationalism;"

"got what was coming"

“Tillman went over there with revenge in his heart.”

The simple truth is none of us will ever know why he did what he did including Rene Gonzalez, but it does say something about people who will ascribe to him the lowest possible motive rather than believing he had a positive reason for what he did. I don’t know why Pat Tillman did what he did but until someone can prove other wise I’m going to believe he did what he did out of a noble motive.

Rest in peace Pat and thank you for your service and sacrifice.
