I'm all for people having their own heroes, feel free to look up to anyone you want, just don't force your oppinion on anyone else. Same goes for religion. But I feel there is a BIG difference between celebrity heroes and REAL heroes. Here is a tragic story of a man who went from Celebrity Hero to Real hero and paid the ultimate price, and the true story was hushed up by the US authorities. All I can say is treat your heroes with real respect guys.
Pat Tillman (6-11-76 - 22-04-04) was a true American Football star who played for the Arizona Cardinals. After completing the football season following the 9-11 attacks he turned down a £3.6 million three-year contract to enlist with his brother in the US Army, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat died in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan, it was initially stated that hostile forces were also involved but this proved to be false. He is an example of what I consider to be a true hero, sacrificing comfort to fight what he truly believed in to defeat the evil he saw in the world.
R.I.P. Pat.
