Tillman certainly deserves his due, but the thing I notice about the media when these things happen is that they will run stories on guys like him for days only because they have a story and more importantly, video to show. Tillman was undoubtedly a brave and patriotic American, but so were all the other soldiers who enlisted after 9/11. They all had to know this wasn't just to get a free college education, but they joined anyway. My hat os off to Till;man, but it is also off to all the others who don't get any airtime. I'd like to see Fox and MSNBC run just 1 or 2 minutes of information on all the war dead.
Also, don't you find it interesting that Tillmans death is being played constantly for a few days after he died, but the Pentagon (a wholly owned subsidiary of the White House) won't let the media take any photos of the caskets returning home to Dover AFB?
