"I'm smart because I've got cool, hip smart looking glasses"

VonDada writes in response to a UMass Grad Student's statement that Pat Tillman was not a hero and got what he deserved:

" "Mystified, but not surprised." -Sentence fragment

"And, not just the regular army..." -Starts sentence with conjunction

"But, does that make him a hero?" -Ditto

"However, in my neighborhood in Puerto Rico" -Oh! Now I get it.

"pendejo, an idiot" -improper translation (babelfish trans: pendejo = a$$hole)

"decided to insert himself into a conflict he didn't need to insert himself into." -Dangling particle

"knee-jerk" -overused cliche

"sacrificial lambs" -Ditto

"Tillman got himself killed" -redundant reflexive

"our social values are probably more enlightened than theirs." -missing verb

"For that reason..." -unclear reference

"has been wrongly utilized" -split infinitive

"The sad part is that we won't realize it before we send more people like Pat Tillman over to their deaths."

-this entire sentence tends to negate the thesis of "Pat Tillman is not a hero" with it's martyr overtones.
