OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[SudsMcBucky]

More than he loved his family? If I had a lovely wife and she was shipped off to war, I'd be reeking of anxiety every day. Tillman didn't have to be a pawn. He chose to be one over his family. That's egoism.

No, it's not. So you're saying is that we can only have soldiers that don't have a family? Just because he made a good living and had a happy life doesn't necessarily mean any of those people are egotistical and war-loving. I have many family members that have served, both voluntarily and through the draft. Not a one was egotistical war mongerer. The ones who served willingly did so for a true sense of love for our country that obviously you cannot understand.

This should be about OUR Brett Favre praising that all world piece of shit, Kaepernick - not about Tillman and whatever his motvation may or may not have been.

Did fucking Odysseus, with a hot wife and newborn offspring, voluntarily sign up for the Trojan War? Dude faked insanity in hope of avoiding the war. It wasn’t til the Greeks threatened to kill his son did ole Odysseus relent.

What's lost on everyone, it seems, is that you have read The Odyssey.

I just about puked when I read this. Our Packer icon saying dumbshit crap like that. .

Starting to get a clue yet?

Favre has no history of that kind of rottenness, has he? Other kinds, yes, but dick pics are a whole other thing.

The Iliad.

Tillman knew the risks of being a pawn. He knew the tolls it would have on not only himself, but most importantly, his family. Again, he didn’t have to be a pawn. Egoism is the only logical explanation for why Tillman opted to be a pawn.

Who's this brent guy you all wasted 500 pages on?

[pbmax]

I'd have thought that he did in school, but I am surprised he remembered the details.

EDIT: Yeah, the details in the Iliad.

The Old Gungslinger thinks Kap has reached Pat Tillman immortality. What the mama-effing fuck!

Scott Campbell and his ilk see Tillman as an American hero, as the dude who gave up everything to defend America’s freedom. To me, Tillman was a cowardly egoist.

Tillman was not drafted by the military. He was not in the military. He was not some burger-flipping loser with no life. He didn’t have to play soldier. Tillman had a family. He disregarded the emotional, physiological, and physical well-being of his family to egoistically seek war glory. In short, Tillman chose self-interest over the interests of his family. He was an egoist.

Kap ain’t no fucking egoist.

His motivation is irrelevant as is the motivation of everyone else that dies in war, and you have no idea what his motivation is. Every service member who dies in legal military action deserves respect.

I also respect legal protestors whether I agree with them or not. They are taking a risk for something they are passionate about and that action deserves respect. It is no where near the same level of potential sacrifice but I still respect it none the less.

This stance you felt compeled to share needs to be reevaluated, it is beneath you if you stop and think about it.

Every goddam thread is gonna end up in FYI isn’t it?

[mraynrand]

The world is encroaching on your safe little bubble.

[RashanGary]

This thread can't go in FYI. It's part of packerrat culture.

[RashanGary]

The world is encroaching on your safe little bubble.

The same way a farmer doesn't kill his productive dairy cattle, the all seeing eye of the Illuminati won't kill all of their red neck American labor resources. So there's a good chance it wont get too bad. But...... I do wonder at what point tex would begin to object.
