Bravery And Courage Doesn't Make It OK To Insult Either

Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich may be a brave and courageous man, deeply patriotic and a good soldiers, but he should be charged with conduct unbecoming of an officer and discharged for saying this to a mother of a fallen solider;

Lt. Col Kauzlarich told Mary Tillman that she "would never be satisfied because you're not a Christian." and "It must be hard to accept your son is worm dirt."

Kauzlarich said something similar to ESPN has summer to which Mary Tillman responded this;

“Well, this guy makes disparaging remarks about the fact that we’re not Christians, and the reason that we can’t put Pat to rest is because we’re not Christians… Oh, it has nothing to do with the fact that this whole thing is shady. But it is because we are not Christians… Pat may not have been what you call a Christian. He was about the best person I ever knew. I mean, he was just a good guy. He didn’t lie. He was very honest. He was very generous. He was very humble. I mean, he had an ego, but it was a healthy ego. It is like, everything those [people] are, he wasn’t.”

We are a secular nation. We do not mandate you to NOT be religious, we mandate you to respect those of us who aren't. Pat Tillman was not a pious Christian, at least not like those Christofascists on the right, but he went to war and fought for his country...HIS COUNTRY, NOT GOD! He deserves respect. This is blatently disrespectful to him and his family and should NOT be condoned.

This man is an example of what's wrong with not only America, but with Christianity and I want no part of a religion, or a country, where this is ok.
