: When I read it, I laughed.
: Was I laughing at it in a "I can't believe someone made this" type of way, like how I laugh at the KKK website ... maybe?
: I DID laugh at your line about my mother being hit by a car ... but I doubt I would laugh if she was ACTUALLY hit by a car.
: The point, I think, is the ridiculousness of the entire war. Should he have left the name "Tillman" out of it?
: Perhaps.
: But, like it or not, the celebrity of Tillman has come to represent the average soldier. Public domain.
: Read the comic without the word Tillman and see if it changes anything.
is that a lot of people join the armed forces for the same reason(s) tillman did, people think they are all mindless morons and that jsut not true; just becasue you or this idiot who wrote the comic doesnt believe in this war; does not mean that tillman and the like dont; you are trying to whitewash the whole war and that is not possible.
