Took him a while to understand that he was an idiot for giving up the NFL gig in service of the war-hungry Bush administration.

I still think he's an idiot for thinking that invading a 7th rate Third World nation and evicting a dastardly and backwards fundamentalist regime had anything to do with fighting terror and defeating Al-Qaeda. Again, if we're serious about defeating terror, we would have accepted the offer of extradition in exchange for proof of Osama's link to 9/11. We wanted war, we were hungry for it, we wanted to be macho about it, and we initiated two unnecessary wars for it. Good for Tillman that he's got a better brain than a lot of soldiers, but in my opinion, he made his "idiot" mistake when he first joined the army, thinking that somehow he was gonna follow in his family's longline of military service in an honorable conflict. This wasn't World War II...this were two ELECTIVE wars that totally did nothing to further the fighting of terrorism and the hatred that brews it.
