Sean Taylor vs Any American Soldier

There's not much disagreement on the matter.....Sean Taylor was a thug. He was in and out of trouble with the law from a young age and continued his bad-boy image at the University of Miami and with the Washington Redskins. If he hadn't been big, strong and able to run fast, he never would have made it to college and beyond. Taylor grew up in a violent world, embraced it, claimed it, loved to run in it and refused to divorce himself from it. He isn't the first so-called sports hero to have his life and/or career end prematurely and violently. It's terribly sad, but hardly surprising. I want to point out, before people get upset with me, I said "Sean Taylor was a thug." By all accounts he was getting his life straigtened out. I don't know if this is true or simply people saying nice things about the dead. I don't know Sean Taylor....all I know is what I read in the papers and hear on the news. But I do know he wasn't a hero. I'm sorry he died, and I feel bad for his family and friends and his little girl.
An amazing amount of grief has been demonstrated over Sean Taylor's death....where is the grief over our real fallen hero's. People that only know Sean Taylor as a football player have been holding candlelight vigils and speaking about what a terrible loss it is....
