Richard, give Tillman some credit. He did what you couldn't or at least didn't want to. He left a comfortable lifestyle to fight a war against those opposed to freedom. He wasn't poor; he didn't join to get a free education. He left because he felt it was his responsibility to protect his family and families like his. In that respect, he is a true hero in my book. Don't try to minimize what he did because you lack the ability to do it yourself.
