The problem here, of course, is that Pat Tillman wasn't told he was dying to "bring a decent society to Afghanistan". He, and more specifically the troops in Iraq were told they were dying to protect the U.S. from the threats of the taliban and the WMD's in Iraq, which we now know were pretty much fabricated by this administration.
How many people do you really believe would willing sacrifice their own lives to "bring a decent society to Afghanistan"? How many would agree to sacrifice a family member to do so? Would you do either one? Would you give up a son or daughter in order to free Fallujah?
If anyone has been "misguided" it seems to me that it was Pat Tillman.
