There are at least HUNDREDS more "Pat Tillman"s fighting in Iraq right now, who WILL die during this occupation. It's a scary thought to know that a good number of our best and brightest young people WILL be killed over there, without having the opportunity to live out the lives, and exact REAL POSITIVE CHANGES on society. Who knows how many lives Pat Tillman could have influenced if he lived to be 100.
What a tragedy... =(
