Courage, cowardice, intelligence and stupidity

Whether one agrees with him or not, it's a wrenching story.
Tillman certainly was a hero, regardless of who shot him. The other man did well to follow his conscience, though he might have been smarter about how and when.
I do think Tillman was badly mistaken about the war- and I'm sorry to see such political partisanship in SI.
