Tillman
Being in the military and having served in both OIF and OEF. I also have mixed feelings about the Tilman coverage. I do not think it can not be atributed to Mr. Tilman, but on a sensationalize media. I have lost friends and loved ones in both conflict, and I neither expected or wanted any media coverage to legitimitize their sacrifice...That is not the reason we serve. It is great to feel appreciated for what we do and I feel that in this forum... so thank you for your support but as for me and my soldiers, we don't relish or expect any media coverage...It is kind of like officiating, in the regard, that when you do a good job, no one notices you; it is a thankless job and it is definitely not for the glory hounds; Although, you may think you are doing the best job you can to keep things fair and just, there will always be those in the stands who will find a reason to hate you...
Thanks for letting me vent.
