Oregon State loses a linebacker to the military

In what hints of Pat Tillman's heroism, an Oregon State linebacker is giving up football to join the military.

The school announced Thursday that starting middle linebacker David Pa'aluhi was leaving the team to join "the armed forces". Like Tillman was with the Arizona Cardinals, Pa'aluhi was a key contributor for the Beavers. He started all 13 games last season and was second in tackles with 77. That was good for Pac-10 honorable mention status.

Pa'aluhi didn't play football until his senior year in high school after growing up in Hawaii as a wrestler and kick boxer. He has a wife and child and had been dealing with "personal issues" according to the Portland Oregonian.

"We fully support David's decision," coach Mike Riley said. "He's a terrific young man with a great future, and all of us in the Beaver football program thank for his contributions and wish him the very best."

Stay safe, David.

Maybe one day we too will be able to display our maturity by name-calling on an internet message board.

Obeying the Constitution as the law of the land and minding your own business NEVER go out of style.

Reading your posts is like a breath of fresh air on here. It's good to see a well-informed, aware patriot reminding these people who they really serve through their actions.

People who have never served automatically label as "babykillers" those of us who chose to put on a uniform. They cannot help this attitude -- as one-celled organisms, they respond reflexively instead of being able to cogitate. They are unable to understand the concepts of "service" and "self-sacrifice"; not being able to grasp these concepts leads them to mental constipation, which eventually breaks loose and results in diarrhea of the mouth (or its virtual equivalent, the keyboard).

Thanks to you all who served. As I have seen elsewhere, "A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve --
is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and
including their life."

How about taking care of his family and his child you idiot... Just because you are in the military does not mean you will be blowing up buildings or going to a conflict zone. I hate it when uninformed people speak about thing that they do not know, but this is what makes this the United States of America even idiots can have their opinions voiced. Semper Fidelis...
