I agree with his wife that the country does need new leadership but I am not sure how Pat Tillman’s actions have given the rest of his family moral superiority over the rest of the country.
While Pat Tillman was a hero and a man of principal, most of his political principals are the polar opposite of mine own. I am not sure if a family of atheists, Norm Chomsky readers and promoters of the homosexual lifestyle (as per Peter King SI article) are the type of people who should be lecturing the rest of the country about leadership.
I feel conflicted because Pat Tillman embodied many things that I admire but his “reported” politics repulse me.
