Tillman was not a hero and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the word "hero" is missing from the original title. His death then was exalted, with a merit medal; the investigation into the mysterious circumstances of friendly fire, almost buried.

"One must be smart enough not to fall into the oldest of myths: love and feelings in general. Fantasies created by people to keep themselves from jumping out the window." "The richest 1% of the country owns over half of the country’s P.I.L wealth. You’re not so naive to believe we live in a democracy, are you, Buddy? It’s the free market that reigns and we are part of it."
