Reply #18: Here's the comic in question [View All]

[FredScuttle]

1) in the first panel, Rall puts words in a dead soldier's mouth, imagining him as signing up just to "kill Arabs"

2) In the second panel, Rall obnoxiously assumes to know what Pat Tillman's motivations and beliefs were concerning the war. Now, we know the truth and Rall looks like a fool

3) In the third panel, Rall makes a valid point, but in doing so, he feels the need to gratuitously smear Tillman and other volunteer soldiers, as you've done in your post above.

4) In the fourth panel, Rall states that Tillman was killed "by the Afghan resistance". We now know that Tillman was actually killed by friendly fire and that the Army covered this up for months. He compounds the Tillman family's pain and grief by calling their dead son a "sap" and an "idiot"

This comic made my blood boil then and it still does. We can be antiwar without insulting or demeaning men and women in uniform, especially those who have given their lives in service. Rall is a disgrace.
