I'm not sure how I feel about this. One...I could see why they might want to discuss it...but can't somebody's service in our army just be left alone...especially considering that he served with honor and died because of our involvement in international conflicts?

Yeah, that's a bit harsh. But, ESPN doesn't need to discuss the
friendly fire issue. Leave that for Time or Newsweek.

While its sad that the Army used his death as a marketing scheme, ESPN should let the issue rest. Medal or not, Tillman was truly and honorable man and should be remembered as one. He should NOT be remembered as a man who received a medal which he did not earn. He should be remembered as a man who sacrificed everything for a cause he believed in. There is nothing more honorable than that.

The modern media doesn't care "what" it prints---it only cares that the reading public remembers the name of the publication that printed it. To be "famous" or "infamous" count the same number of points to publishers.

I don't mean Tillman's specifically. But, as a general issue.
