Army to Investigate Tillman's Death

The army today announce that they will investigate to see if there was any criminal activity involved in the death of Pat Tillman. While I admire Tillman for his devotion to his country and his willingness to step away from a multimillion dollar football contract to serve his country, I have to wonder if there is an overemphasis on him over the hundreds of others brave soldiers that have died in the war on terror. The death of each and every American soldier is tragic and quite possibly heroic, but there has been all this focus on Tillman - what about the other ones? There are conspiracy theories about his death, and we all know how Americans like a conspiracy theory, so this story will no doubt fly through the press and because of that more focus will be put on him and taken away from all of the other soldiers that are working so hard in the fight against terror. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but something about this overemphasis on Tillman really bugs me.
