May 4, 200422 yr Pat Tillman Academic arrogance and liberal superiority reached a new low this week with the publishing of a letter in the University of Massachusetts Amherst Daily Collegian. It was written by a student named Rene Gonzalez from Puerto Rico and stated that Pat Tillman got what was coming to him, that he was a macho Rambo and that his service was unnecessary. The article also stated that they should call Pat Tillman?s Army life, Rambo Four and in Gonzalez?s native Puerto Rico, Tillman would be considered an idiot. Well Rene, I?ve got a few words I?d like to say to you. First of all, you are not worthy to even mention the name of Pat Tillman you arrogant, detestable little snit. Pat Tillman is a hero who gave his life for something he believes in. Are you willing to do the same thing? Do you believe enough in what you?ve said that you?d be willing to give your life for it? I seriously doubt it. You?d better be glad that there are Rambo types who are willing to give their lives to give you the right to make stupid and unfeeling statements. Do you think that freedom comes without a price? Do you think that a bunch of supercilious academic rattlebrains like yourself could have gone to Afghanistan and talked the terrorist threat away? I would sincerely like to see you try. I dare say that after five minutes in that country you would be looking for people like Pat Tillman to save your misguided life. When you insult Pat Tillman you insult every man and woman who have served in the military of this nation in two hundred and twenty-eight history. You insult the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy, the prisoners who spent years in the unimaginable misery of the Hanoi Hilton. You insult every cross in Arlington cemetery and every gray haired World War Two vet who proudly wears his American Legion cap to the Fourth of July parade. You insult the mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, wives and husbands who have buried loved ones who died preserving the American dream. You insult the victims of 9-11 and all the innocents who have died at the hands of terrorists around the world. Let me extend an invitation. I?m going to Kosovo next week. Why don?t you come along and I?m sure we can find some Army Rangers who would be glad to discuss your opinions with you? On second thought I guess that?s a bad idea. Pray for our troops. What do you think? God Bless America Charlie Daniels AMEN to Charlie Daniels. He always hits the nail right on the head. :thumbup
May 4, 200422 yr We already have some people here b***hing that Tillman is getting to much credit. Honor the man and stop your b***hing people.
May 4, 200422 yr This subject is getting waaay to blown out of proportion. Free speech apparently only protects speech we agree with and/or like. I don't agree with what Gonzalez said, but he's due his right.
May 4, 200422 yr Don't you have to run away from something to be spineless? He wrote a dumb article and is getting crucified for it. Who the hell is Charlie Daniels anyways? The voice of the American unconscious? Does he have a new album coming out or something? I mean, why does he need this publicity.
May 4, 200422 yr Author Charlie Daniels writes great letters that, in my opinion, do a fantastic job of voicing conservative American opinion. I love his letters. You don't have to.
May 4, 200422 yr I'm not sure how many of you actually read the article (I just read the ESPN article), but if you want to read it in full, here it is: http://media.dailycollegian.com/pages/till...ml?in_archive=1
