Ok I really hate to do this, but this whole thing stinks to me as well. But not in the way you all seem to think. I can't wrap my brain around a guy who you all claim to be so "anti-war" would give up a beautiful wife, family and lucrative career in sports to go fight a war he deeply didn't believe in. Sorry I just don't buy it. Tillman seemed to me to be the jock who used to shove me into lockers in high school. The type of guy who wanted to get in the "action", bad enough to enlist in the freakin marines. The type of guy who would endanger his unit by doing stupid "heroic" shit. I have never been in combat, but from what my father told me once you are in the shit all bets are off, political affiliations, religion, all fall by the wayside while you just try to survive, and keep your buddies alive. I seriously doubt that someone would kill this man on the battlefield because of his political convictions. I don't doubt he was killed by his own unit I just doubt it was because he was against the war....
