Army opening criminal probe into Tillman's death
Ok first the guy turns down a $3.6 million dollar contract to serve our country. Some might call that honorable. Then the guy gets shot and killed in Afghanistan. They originally said that the Taliban did it so at least the guy was a hero.
Now it looks like his own troops shot the poor guy! Can you believe it! |
Pat gave up a promising career to serve his country. I doubt that many others gave up so much money to do so. But the money pales in comparison to the loss of life. Is Pat's death any more tragic than the other sons and daughters that have been killed by friendly fire? I think not. So it disturbs me that the media is focused on Pat Tillman, without mentioning the others who have died. I would like to hear the whole story from the media. What are we doing for the others who have died? How many other firendly fire incidents have been covered up? If anyone has seen any media coverage on these questions, please point me in the right direction.
