Ex-NFL player Tillman killed in Afganistan

Quote from aphexcoil:

Leave it to Rowenwood to turn a thread created to honor Mr. Tillman for following his beliefs into a self-serving attention-starving ego-fueling diatribe of endless rebuttals against other users.

Oh Aphie, you're so, gay for me. Though, the above statement is quite true and nearly well worded.

Do you still believe in god and unicorns?
 
Quote from NihabaAshi:

I watched him played college football a few times.

There are lots of current top athletes serving in the military and coast guard and some in elite units currently in IRAK and Afganistan.

Some of these athletes are in the reserves, former academy cadets while others are on active duty as soldiers so that the military can finance their athletic careers.

Others take a new career path away from sports as Tillman and his brother did.

The other athletes are High School state champions, NCAA all-americans, Olympic athletes, World team athletes or professional athletes (they get prize money) in their current or former sport.

Some of these athletic stars are young and with a family...they join the military to support their lifestyle that most universities cannot provide for such.

(Note: When I was in the military I knew many state champions, jr. national champions and Olympic athletes...all soldiers.)

Usually, the military will allow these athletes to train for their sport and not be put in harms way because they are advertisment to help recruit.

Most won't accept such and do share whatever their comrades must endure...these are the Heroes regardless if they are fighting abroad or at home protecting the U.S.

Quite honestly, I like the way you think until hyper logic is rquired. Once complete logic is required you become a nincompoop. Why don't you get over your flaws? Why do you enjoy being brainwashed? Everyone has flaws.
I think you're smart enough to recognize that you're brainwashed, or am I wrong?


Where do you live? Aren't you curious to know how smart you could be if you gave up the god crap?

Dr. Trader,

You can use Google search engine and type in key words like Navy Seal Athlete, Army Ranger Athlete, Air Force Athlete, Army Olympic Trials, Navy Olympic Trials, World Cup, USATF, Green Beret, Boxing, Judo, Rowing, Wrestling, Track and Field, Armed Forces Champion, State Champion et cetera.

Throw in other key words like Iraq, Afganistan, Gulf War et cetera...

To get lots and lots of current and past names.

However, if you need a specific names...

Scott Helvenston

Scott was a World Champion Pentathlete he was also a state champion in a particular sport but I can't remember what.

Three other names of soldiers currently serving in elite units...

John McAllister (Track and Field)
Jerry Ingalls (Track and Field)
*John Collett (water polo)

*He's back in college on a champion rowing team and will be attending USC soon...maybe still rowing.

There's also sports websites that list past team members (World Teams, Olympic Teams, Collegiate All-Americans) that were also in the military.

I'm just guessing...if you dig hard enough...you can find over +100 names of those currently in the military or of the recent past.

Quote from spect8or:



Furthermore, what a bizarre suggestion that setting up the Taliban was the US aim in Soviet-era Afghanistan. The goal was to engage the Soviets, drain them and, if possible, drive them out. The fact that a very effective means (the most?) of doing this was to recruit fanatical muslims -- or just devoted muslims and make them fanatical -- shouldn't be confused with setting out to create a totalitarian religious regime like the Taliban. The Taliban were an unfortunate after-effect. In future though, you may be as kind as to lend us your crystal ball, so as to avoid similar such after-effects.

And actually, the US simply funded the rebel group for being a rebel group. We didn't actually radicalize anyone, and we supported what became the Northern Alliance and others just as much as we supported what became the Taliban. Pakistan is the state that put its power behind the Taliban, thus giving the Taliban control and Pakistan what appeared for a long time to be a puppet gov't.

What's funny is that all you do is talk the talk, but you have yet to flash even a bit of this logic you pretend to have. You're a funny guy!
