Tillman's is a great story, thus the huge media response. I agree, a pro athlete who's set for life (financially, at least) and joins the military is hardly worthy of such excessive adulation. It's a tremendous sacrifice, and one to be admired, but as others have stated, no more or less than the hundreds of others who have given their life over there.

I'd be interested to see what Kelvin thinks of all this.
