Kevin Tillman

[mburbank]

I think more than te friendly fire incident, he might be a little angry about the way he and his family wee lied to about the cause of death, how initially his death was used as a propoganda tool, and how even now, as far as I know, no one has been held responsible for the slowly unravelling series of lies they've been told.

In addition, Kevin Tillman served in Iraq after Afghanistan along with lots of other soldiers who got dragged out of Afghanistan to fight in an unrelated war, and that may have a great deal to do with why Afghanistan is still an ongoing war and Osama is still at large That might make you angry if your brother died fighting a war that had a point.

I think I'm more unhinged than he is in the pouty sense, since I've lost nothing directly. All my losses are theoretical at this pint, where as Tillman is out one brother and has far more reason to believe his country isn't what he believed it was.

I think soldiers might be angry and disapointed if they feel their fellow soldiers lives are being thrown way.

And 'pouty', Kev? Like your 'not %100 behind' and 'wouldn't shed a tear' I find your response to current events tepid. Geat war for civilization or pointless excercise, either way a lot of people are dying. I'm not sure 'pouty' is a very good word to use in ths situation. It's like calling the Geneva conventions 'quaint'.
