I also think that this soldier being talked about so much diminish's the reputation (Couldn't think of another word) of the [i]average[/u] soldier. Isn't he being just a bit overrated.

Unfortunately, we have a "celebrity" mentality in the U.S. that requires that we make a bigger deal out of some people than others for the very same thing. Of course, Tillman deserves to be honored for his sacrifice but Pfc Joe Average deserves just as much. It's sad that these guys get overlooked as so much cannon fodder when their lives are worth every bit as much as Tillman's, yours or mine.
