What’s the consensus on Pat Tillman? Is he on the Mount Rushmore of /k/ personnel?

There’s a lot of misconceptions about the guy and his politics.He’s like a martyr of right wing populism and people think he would have an issue with kneeling for the anthem.In reality, Pat Tillman would have been in favor of all the current protests. He would have not only supported Colin Kaepernicks peaceful protest, but he probably would have burned the American flag while tongue kissing a man to reinforce the freedom of expression that he fought for. He’d be an outspoekn critic of Trump, would have endorsed Kamala and her common sense gun control measures. He would have been sick to his stomach of seeing white women not marrying outside of their race, and would have fully supported sending billions to Israel each year. Semper Fi.

>voluntarily become a ZOGbot instead of playing pro football and drowning in pussy
Cringe
>Become disillusioned with the war, so much so your compatriots have to ice you before you go back and shit talk the war stateside
Unfathomably based.
But if you're asking for /k/'s Mount Rushmore, it'd probably look like something like this
>Chesty
>Ian
>Zimzam (I'd leave him off becasue he didn't really do anything heroic, but /k/ likes to have power fantasies of killing black youth)
>Paul or Hickok
Honorable mentions would be MacAthrur for being a retard who managed to fail upwards, Hitler (for being able to kill Hitler), King Von and Chief Keef for being real pipe hittin niggas, and Alex Jones for his love of firearms, retarded conspiracy theories and his love for transwomen.

Quinessential example of the coverup being worse than the crime.If the Department of Defense had acknowledged from the outset that it was the result of an unfortunate accident or just been intentionally vague and kept the circumstances of his death classified for "security reasons", no one would have thought much of it. The fact that they tried to exploit it for propaganda purposes is why it blew up in their faces.

Sad story, god friendly fired, then because he was a big name they had to give him a bronze star and make up a story about him dying in combat when in reality one ranger opened up on another ranger's position

>Go to school on sports scholarship
>Somehow plays college football without being arrested for anything
>228th in the NFL draft, gets a paltry $20,000 signing bonus
>Two years later, turns down a $9 million contract to stay with the Cardinals (the CARDINALS for fuck's sake) because it's HIS team, his buddies
>Decides not to take a $3.6 million deal to stay with the Cardinals and instead quietly joins the Army after 9/11
>Marries his high school sweetheart right before he signs up
>Takes enlistment oath alongside his brother
>Could have spent his time in uniform giving speeches at high schools, convincing retarded teenagers that the military was just like playing Halo
>Probably could have spent two years in the basement of the pentagon getting paid to smoke weed all day all because some general was a Sun Devils fan, gotten out, had a shitty autobiography ghostwritten, gone on a pro-war/anti-war media tour, and then run for congress, or just went back to playing football for a million dollars a year.
>He doesn't even try to turn his marketing degree into a commission.
>Could have used his fame, money, and good looks to become the biggest dirtbag enlisted man since Snuffy Smith
>Volunteers for the rangers instead
>Scrolled, not tabbed
>Tour in Iraq, tour in Afghanistan
>Wartime diary is full of how much he loves his wife, parents, and brother
>Has the pretty reasonable opinion that Afghanistan was necessary but Iraq was unjustified, largely keeps it to himself.
>Killed in friendly fire incident, huge coverup for political reasons, big scandal, congressional hearings, gets roped into all of it when he'd probably want to stay quietly dead.
>Dies not just a grunt, but the most enlisted of all, an E-4
>Even his posthumous 'promotion' is a sideways one from Specialist to Corporal
>Literally looks like he's had a gigachad filter applied.

My local sports bar has a massive portrait of him. Like a 5x8ft print of OPs picture on the wall by the largest TV where we can watch our team play like shit.

Fuck Pat Tillman. He was a dipshit boyscout that put Rangers in harms way with his bravado and deliberate risky behavior. We pantsed him with a grenade right when had to take a combat dookie. He flew sky-high and we got showered in his fecal matter.Sweet stench of freedom. Rot in hell.>b-but he was against the war!
So were the rest of us, you fucking babbling fuckstick. We simply shut the fuck up and did our jobs and didn't have to stroke ourselves for the fucking camera. The art of subtlety is to illustrate the futility of your situation with humor, not cozying up to retards like Chomsky and pretending you're a patriot while giving shitskins political ammo.
