Professional Student Questions the Valor of
Fallen Ranger
Hope Rene
Gonzalez has his bags packed for Puerto Rico...No doubt his little
diatribe exploring why Pat Tillman is/was
not
a hero was just another desperate cry from a self-hating frat (Latino chapter of
course...Courtesy of the ACLU) reprobate for attention. Nonetheless, he can
probably expect numerous barbs from the media and ass-kickings
galore...Deservedly so.
Maybe Tillman didn't measure up to Gonzalez's standard of hero (Moby, Sean Penn, Michael Moore) but he pretty much embodied the virtues that human history has celebrated as "heroic." When with the Arizona Cardinals, Tillman turned down more money from a better team (Rams) to honor his commitment to the team that drafted him. One would be hard pressed to find a dozen athletes in all professional sports who exhibit that kind of loyalty and selflessness. Yet that sacrifice wasn't enough for Tillman. He gave up the comforts that we take for granted and gave his life for his beliefs. Whether one agrees with the "War on Terror," Bush, or war in general...The nobility and courage of an individual surrendering his/her life for conviction cannot be denied.
Like many academiacs, Rene Gonzalez imagines that all the world's problems can be solved by musings of the intelligentsia at ivy-covered university campuses. It may surprise him to learn, however, that Brooke Farm was a horrible failure, and that if he were to try his diplomatic hand (directly...not via computer or college rag) with the Islamic militants...He would surely be returning home in a casket draped with a poncho. If not for having a pussy name like "Rene"...Surely for having values opposed to hardline Islam. People who blow up kids are not looking to discuss conflict resolution.
At the end of the day, Pat Tillman and his legacy will inspire countless people in countless ways. Gonzalez and his friends (if he has any) will continue to pursue self-delusion and irrelevancy in their "studies."

Sorry, Speedy. Rene has brought shame to the family name
