Kevin Tillman, the Army Ranger and brother of Pat Tillman (the NFL star who joined the Army because of patriotism after 9/11, went to Afghanistan, and was killed in a friendly fire incident), wrote a scathing critique of the nation's leadership.
Pat's birthday would have been celebrated on November 6th. Kevin wants folks to vote for change on November 7th.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/10/20/8423/2488 I am struck by the true patriotism of people who are not afraid to admit that Americans have reaped what we have sown. We get the government we deserve. It is because of our laziness and apathy as a people that we are now led by such immoral louts. It is our inaction that has allowed Washington DC to become a den of iniquity and a hive of villainy.
But we also have the power to wake up - take action - and change our nation.
