I'm sorry, but I don't consider every soldier over there a hero as it is simply not the case. The term is thrown around way too much these days.
Also, to say Tillman acted completely selflessly in this case is not the truth. He left his wife immediately after their honeymoon to go serve by choice. He chose to subject her to his possible death. That is selfish in my opinion. Alas, it shows that idealism can be more of draw than fame and money, and that following your ideals does not make one a hero.
