A modern hero

Pat Tillman is a modern hero, of course, mostly for the way the real story is a hell of a lot more sordid and depressing than you'd think at first. And he's really modern for the way it's not his fault or doing. If one thing could make him happy (if he was still alive), it's the thought that maybe this is what will make the crucial difference in the ongoing, half-silent war to make America a sane place again.
