| Has anyone read the editorial about Tillman in the UMass-Aherst paper. I live just outside of Boston and this has been a hot topic of the last week or so, im not sure if it gained national attention yet. Anyways, a grad student wrote an editorial saying that Tillman got what he deserved by joining the army and his choices were by influenced by his macho fantasy to go play rambo (not an exact quote but something to that effect.) Imediatly Renee Gonzalez(the author) was attacked by the media for his comments and threats were made against him. Search around and try to find a copy, ill let you make up your own mind, but ill ust throw my two cents in. Read some of it, heard alot about it on the radio, every comment on it was negative. It is disgusting that a member of the military who gave his life fighting terrorism is highly criticized in such a way. I would expect comments like that to come from a member of al Quada than an educated American with several years of college behind them.
We're looking at the world through the barrel of a gun,
are we ready? |
