The Tillman Story - Richard speaks about his brother

[jprenderg]

You don't show up to a funeral for a guy that wasn't religious and talk about religious shit like the afterlife. Give me a fucking break McCain.

Well done Richard on saying something.

[1IIIIIIIIII1]

@jprenderg MCCAIN WAS STILL TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW MANY HOUSES HE OWNED

[Sairin13]

This man risked his life, without believing in an afterlife. If you are a believer and you think you have the right to say anything about his death, or his life for that matter, remember that. He didn't believe in God, he believed all we have is this one life, and he served. Take your cross, and your faith, and your emotions somewhere else.

[21Hosey]

Represent man. It looks like Pat Tillman wasn't the only brother with integrity. All 3 of those Tillman boys carry torches. RIP PAT TILLMAN

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

This is how I want my funeral to be.

[jayc5413]

much love to you and yours. and speaking truthfully and being real for your brother tillman.

[Adamson11x]

3 shots in the head. "friendly fire"? Nato caliber. Makes you think. It was not a sniper (Iwas one in The FFL) you can't shoot so many rounds with that kind of accurracy. I'm not a fan of stupid conspiracy theories, but someone wanted this man dead. No 50 cals, no 7.62s, just three bullets that fit M 16. That had to be a single shooter with semi shots. It had to be point blank. There are things that just don't add up.

[ee2012]

@Adamson11x Special forces.

[CaptainRidley]

I am not an atheist but this guy is 100% being honest. It's not a production. All those fake polititions trying to look good up there. Props to his brother for being real and speaking from the heart.

[MustBeFattening]

[mechanixis]

Man, that is deserving a slow-clap. If only more people need to put aside childish things and accept this.

[JN5B11]

wow this guy is badass. i wish i was that cool

[ryanrriekkoff]

@JN5B11 you are that cool you just don't realize it.

[JN5B11]

@ryanrriekkoff i do actually

[vinnynyy]

Wow, hats off to Richard Tillman. It's very rare to see someone with the balls to call it like it is!

[briano707]

i wish someone has the balls to talk like this at my funeral

[1IIIIIIIIII1]

@briano707 BRIANO'S A FUCKIN CHAMPION.....HE'S FUCKIN DEAD....THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS BUT BRIANO'S FUCKIN DEAD.

[nistle2]

That's awesome he cut through the bs and called it like it was

[FHomeBrew]

His brother is just awesome. Hopefully this grows to be something to protect his brother from being exploited after death for someone's propaganda. *applauds*

[DrumKey38]

It truly breaks my heart to know someone died without a Savior. I can't even imagine the literal hell that he's going thru at this very moment.

[jajison]

@DrumKey38 Read what you just typed. You sound like a psycho.

[funknotik]

@DrumKey38 Fucking idiot. 

[Westonci]

@DrumKey38 so what your trying to say is the earth is 6000 years old and jesus walked amongst dinosaurs?

[shortasiandude101]

@DrumKey38 You are one bigoted, cruel, and self-righteous dick. If this god of yours would send this brave and good-hearted soldier to hell after what he's been through, then fuck everything about that.

[richwfd2002]

@DrumKey38 Proof please....

[rdb3434]

@DrumKey38 You're delusions run so deep that you actually believe a guy like Pat Tillman deserves infinite amount of pain and will worship the magical being that will supposedly deliver this punishment. Not only are you a fool, but a terrible human being.

[DEnumber73]

@DrumKey38 hes not in hell, he was a good man that cared about his nation over money, and was faithfull to his wife, and loved his family, my belief is that you can go to heaven even if you dont believe in xy or z religion

[huskywich]

The tillmans are fucking saints

[yishto]

Pat was killed by friendly fire and used as a propaganda excuse. That angers me.

[whatheduck97]

@yishto how did he die? was he in Afghanistan or Iraq?

[xXDISASTERPIECE934Xx]

@whatheduck97 friendly fire in afghanistan

[xXDISASTERPIECE934Xx]

@whatheduck97 sorry Iraq.

[knightfall209]

you good man and good soldier pat r.i.p.

[DrumKey38]

His brother did get one fact right, "Pat's not with God". Without a doubt. he's not with God . .sadly enough.

[DrumKey38]

Wow, these people got used and owned by the Code Pinks of the world. I have no understanding why anyone would honor a self-centered ego maniac. His last words were "I'm fucking Pat Tillman". . .he was his own god. I'm glad that I have real actual Hope in my life. Sadly, Pat got a big dose of reality when he stepped over to the other side. I thank Tillman for his service to our country but that's as far as it goes, he didn't do anything any more courageous than other serviceman.

[benpalin]

@DrumKey38 Pat had "real actual Hope" in his life. It was called mankind. It was called the "idea" of America. He did get a dose of reality, as all us veterans did-who joined and wanted to defeat religious extremism. He realized that the same douche bags are on our side too. This isn't a fight between countries, it's a fight between reason and religion . Pat was "his own god". Just as you are, and I am. We are in charge of our own destiny. But trying to paint him as an egomaniac is just stupid.

[funknotik]

@benpalin Perfect response, excellent.

[funknotik]

@DrumKey38 He was Pat Tillman and he was his own god. "Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat Fucking Tillman, dammit!"

[Brenda2OOO]

There is reason to believe Pat was killed because of god-craziness and here these nuts are spouting god-craziness at his funeral. How disrespectful. No wonder his family was pissed off. John McCain, Maria Shriver, you're full of shit. Pat's brother told the only truth here. Pat is indeed fucking dead, as we all will be one day. Drop the dopey fairy tale bullshit and find out who murdered Pat.

[Jiggleton]

how fucking vampiric

fuck politicians

[shags2ps]

TIllman's bother is awesome! He got up there in front of a lot of high profile people and spoke what he believes. He's like the honey badger in the fact that he doesn't give a shit. Good for him! All you Christians can stop being "butt hurt" over that...

[iPriestHolmes]

why is mccain and maria shriver there?  why where they given permission to speak?

[HarveyRex23]

Jesus Christ. I love this fuckin guy. Well spoken baby brother.

[mikeyramone33]

what sucks is these are the men america is sending overseas to fight and die.bring them home, we need warriors here to save america!

[FOXBODIED]

Brilliance in it's most simple form... "he's fucking dead". Most of what you believe that can't be proven is likely bullshit.

[pandapalace11]

That man.... has bollocks the size of basketballs. And I applaud him for that

[mr209tou]

More people have died over religion than all the world wars combine and second big ups to pats brother richard he was honest and straight up. I got big ups for pat for serving his I did it for 8 years all active all army been to afghan once and iraw. Honestly I would of never left the money. Rest in Peace Pat.

[Tupac2559]

thanks for your thoughts but hes fucking dead why cant more people think like that and be realists

[Tupac2559]

im so sick of jesus i dont care if you believe in him just keep him the fuck out of govt you evangelical assholes

[MFpirate1]

"ah..i didnt write shit,cuss im not a writer"

fav part

[laaxe]

Hell yeah, Richard! Bust this christian system's ass for what it blindly stands for!

[911sheeple]

Christians want to destroy the world to Force Jesus to Return.

Guess they are wondering if their own religion isn't just a bunch of Bull Shit!

Bush Pulled the Trigger on Tillman.

One Jew Will Kill Another Jew if a Dime can be made from it.

[Niickk58]

damn this kid is a badass! way to lay it to em straight!

[THEDUDE1948]

Saw this before awhile back, but felt like watching it again. How disgusting of those politicians to use the funeral as part of their political agenda. Fuck them. RIP Pat FUCKING CHAMPION Tillman.

[jamersongodsey]

@0:01 *You're*

[theunicorntaxi]

"This war is so fucking illegal" - Patrick Tillman

[abracadaverous]

When you don't believe in an afterlife, all you have is LIFE. That's why life is so precious when you're an atheist. You only get one chance, so make it count here and now and don't live for the promise of some abstract reward or punishment you think you might theoretically get later.

[MrCalabashe]

@abracadaverous - So is real your name Kauzlarich or are you just arrogantly ignorant by nature? Pat is a friend. I can assure you we still have new adventures, spiritually (like in dreams). Being spiritual has nothing to do with being religious. As a matter of fact, it proves one does not have to subscribe to any particular brand of dogma to achieve immortality. Pat's personal code of conduct is unimpeachable without religious hocus-pocus, legend or myth.

[PhobicOne]

@MrCalabashe And where exactly in that comment did you draw the conclusion that he was being arrogant? Was it the part that "When you don't belive in an afterlife, all you have is LIFE"?

In short, why you mad?

[MrCalabashe]

@PhobicOne - Because it is rude and arrogant to judge another's religious or non-religious beliefs. I assure you the Tillmans are spiritual. I don't know if they believed in an afterlife before. I know they do now but that's still no reason to suddenly embrace the ultimate patriarch theory. An Agnostic believes in what is seen and experienced. Never heard anyone in the family, including Pat, use the word Atheist. There is a difference. Pat is not religious.

[PhobicOne]

@MrCalabashe That's like calling pink "light red". It has all the symptoms of atheism but you prefer to call it being a "spiritual Agnostic". That's fine, be as politically correct as you want, but don't get pissed when other people find the balls to call an atheist an atheist.

Oh, also, it's pretty obvious that the Tillman family (that is, if you extend the attitude of Pat's brother and, by his brother's admission, Pat himself) does NOT believe in an afterlife.

[MrCalabashe]

@PhobicOne If that pacifies you - fine. Just don't call an Atheist an Atheist if you really don't know what it means. Pat and I talked about religion. Mary and I also breach the subject. So unless you've actually had conversations with any of the Tillmans don't talk out your butt. I know what Rich said then and since.

[PhobicOne]

@MrCalabashe How ironic, the "revealed knowledge" argument.

[MrCalabashe]

@PhobicOne Don't know that one. Anything to do with by extension guesses and assumptions? LOL Join me on "The Tillman Story" IMDb discussion board where we can toss back better than 500 character zingers.

BTW on Maher Richard blurted out Pat is now his Jesus. Perhaps one is not close enough to pick up that subtle revelation.

[PhobicOne]

@MrCalabashe Why the fuck would I do that? The retards on YouTube are enough for me. I don't need to deal with mega movie nerds in my spare time.

[MrCalabashe]

@PhobicOne Suit yourself. Invitation remains open. Only point to make here is Atheists don't believe in a deity (period) Concepts like spirituality or immortality are separate and something else. Some believe some don't I'd guess. It's arrogant and ignorant to lump it all together like saying all Muslims are terrorists or God hates Democrats and gays. I'll give you life is precious regardless and that one should live their best regardless.

[PhobicOne]

@MrCalabashe That point was never made. All of what you just said was added onto the person's original comment by yourself.

[MrCalabashe]

@PhobicOne Yes and that is what you originally responded to. The Dude was arrogant and ignorant just like Lt Col Ralph Kauzlarich who publicly said Pat was worm dirt and his family will never find closesure because they weren't Christian. Guessing you like me and want to keep this going, huh? ;-]

[Seanjkbs]

@MrCalabashe I used to play football with pat, we actually had this discussion more than once, he was infact an atheist.

[MrCalabashe]

@Seanjkbs You could very well be right. I just never heard him actually say that word but we weren't together 24/7. Our conversations on religion were on religion - as in the institution. We never got into the ultimate patriarch theory. I know he stood outside the prayer circle before a game. He ever talk about “Mark Dude”? No matter.

[Thatguywithlogic]

@abracadaverous It's true for everybody, it's just sad that the vast majority of people on this Earth don't realize it.

[TheSasss1]

Pat Tillman and his brother are heroes in my eyes.

[logicallunatic1]

More honest, more emotional, more sincere, and more human than any of the stupid god talk.

[TamaNewb]

Is it wrong that i laugh extremely loud when he said path wasn't religious?

[katfrog98]

Courage and commitment to the best in our culture does not always tow the party line. Those brothers were US Army Rangers, their commitment was real; its not what too many of us would like to believe, but its what we need and its what gets us through when it counts. I am very proud of that family and their gift to the best in us.

[MrAsaphelps]

I don't want to make this video about me but I just want to say that if some religious nut tries to make my death about them then I hope someone does this at my funeral.

[PotatoSol]

If this was my funeral I'd be so pissed off.  It's YOU'RE a real American, not YOUR!!!

[zavatone]

Richard, you are fucking awesome. Wish I had a brother like you or Pat.  Cheers man.

[Daver14X]

Why do people embrace death as a sweet release? That is to me, giving up. Death is shitty, but it happens. People who die don't go "home" or one day will see all their loved ones again. They are erased from reality forever. When you sugar coat it and say that it's not really the end for them you are disrespecting their life, and for this man, disrespecting his sacrifice.

[bearcatchermusic]

why are the bagpipers playing scotland the brave?

[RAIDERS58th]

@bearcatchermusic Wow! You noticed what 99.% of us didn't. The bagpipers were playing Sotland the brave. Feel clever? Feel better than everyone else who watched this moving tribute to a man braver than me or you? Trying to show off your vast knowledge of music? Feel good about that ? Well, guess what? NOBODY GIVES A FUCK! A brave man is dead; likely murdered - and that's all you can find to say? Get a life and show some respect for a man who was better than most of us!

[RonBurgundy161]

Truer words have never been stated.

[dinkus4727]

I was cheering and crying what a beutiful speech!!!!!!!!!!!

[saxquiz]

Nice.

[lauriesrank]

I'm all signed up, I give blood and I'm a bone marrower too! Once they have all my insides (those which work) I'll then be fried!

[lauriesrank]

Guys, now please reply to this one! I'm an atheist but because I stay In Edinburgh (Scotland) I found a law which means I can have a funeral pyre so I' delighted that I don't need any nonsense service!!!

[JoeTube2]

@lauriesrank consider signing up to your local donor's list. I did and I'm atheist too :)

[relaxyourenobody]

Dear God... he used your instead of you're

[neocon70]

a true alcoholic's speech.

[jek21]

That was badass.

[Chapdude]

i hope someone has the balls to say this at my funeral

[PAYPAMAKA]

@Chapdude how original

[theLeezusMan]

@PAYPAMAKA What the fuck do you mean, "how original".

I'm sure you're still young, so this might come as a shock, but we are not all special fucking snowflakes, and not everything we do has to be special. It's perfectly acceptable to want something because it's what you like, and whether it's original or trite be damned.

"How original"...fuck you. Take that shit back to your coffee shop.

[PAYPAMAKA]

@theLeezusMan calm down angry person i saw your comment word for word in the title of the reddit post that linked to this video. maybe ur the same dude who uploaded it to reddit, but it seems highly unlikely.

im also an atheist and i would like something like this to be said at my funeral as well. i dont want people alluding to me being "home", or "reunited" with anyone else who has died when my body is rotting in the earth.

[PicklesReallySuck]

Champ.

[brightcatseye]

Well done, and what a great family.

[1IIIIIIIIII1]

IM A CHRISTIAN, BUT I DO LIKE THE CLIP WHERE SOMEONE IS JUST SAYING WHAT THEY THINK WITHOUT BEING PHONY.

[fedner31]

Who would dare get up to speak after Richard Tillman's brutally honesty? We've literally wasted a great soldier and human being. The Tillmans are the focus, they caught us trying to bullshit them. I hope we(nation/government) learn from this.

[volumecorps]

After watching this, all I can say is that I will die a satisfied person if I ever do something this cool in my lifetime.

[thevoicoftruth1989]

Pat Tillman is a by all means a god himself.

[kcf6969]

Nice! Well said.

[GencsTheTank]

Pat Tillman, great athlete, and a true American Hero

[RFISHE14]

@RColemanVT Yeah I will happily award the entire family fuckin champion status . Enjoyed the fathers letter to government which basicly tells em to go fuck themselves. the Tillman Story is a truely Awesome documentary.

[bbfunk1220]

It'd be an honor to have a little bro like that

[RFISHE14]

Pat and Richard are both F*cking champions in my book

[RColemanVT]

@RFISHE14

The whole family are fucking champions. They are pure awesome.

[Jinxxxi]

Right on! His brother rules for stating the truth.
