155. I support him
I support Ted Rall's right to express his opinion. It's no more offensive than the vast majority of the stuff you hear from O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh. And it's certainly far more factual and supported.

I agree with Rall the majority of the time, and I happen to agree with him this time too. I don't know Tillman or his motives for going joining the military, but dying for a bad cause does not not make you a hero.

Tillman did what he believed in, which is a good thing as far as that goes. I won't disparage him for leaving pro sports and following his convictions. That makes him a man to respect, but it still does not make him a hero.
