I watch "Dogfights" all the time, but haven't seen "Shootout" before. Wow.Mikeinsmd said:"Dogfights" or "Shootout" on the history channel? Awesome reenactments from WW II to Vietnam to Gulf war skirmishes. Great computer graphics on the aerial dogfights.
Shootout in Afghanistan on now.
I know. So sad. I wonder why he enlisted vs. getting a commission? He was a college grad right?MMDad said:I watch "Dogfights" all the time, but haven't seen "Shootout" before. Wow.
Man, that Tillman thing is one colossal CF. The reports just get worse and worse as the investigations continue. Imagine some of the screw ups that don't get noticed because a footbal player wasn't involved.
I figure he wanted into the fight. As an officer, he would have had to go through "leadership" training, as well as warrior training. As an enlisted, he would only get training to be a warrior before being able to go do what he wanted to do: avenge 9/11. He was a great man.Mikeinsmd said:I know. So sad.

No gurantees if you go the OCS route.. as an enlisted member he got everything he wanted.. Infantry, Airborne and Ranger.. guaranteedMikeinsmd said:I know. So sad. I wonder why he enlisted vs. getting a commission? He was a college grad right?
