Friendly Fire Likely Killed Tillman
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Former pro football player Pat Tillman was probably killed by friendly fire as he led his team of Army Rangers up a hill during a firefight in Afghanistan last month, the U.S. Army said Saturday. Tillman walked away from a $3.6 million NFL contract to join the Army after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Previous military statements suggested he was killed April 22 under enemy fire. "While there was no one specific finding of fault, the investigation results indicate that Cpl. Tillman probably died as a result of friendly fire while his unit was engaged in combat with enemy forces," Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger Jr. said in a brief statement to reporters at the Army Special Operations Command. Kensinger said the firefight took place in "very severe and constricted terrain in impaired light" with 10 to 12 enemy combatants firing on U.S. forces.more.. |

Yeah, they don't teach things like target recognition anymore. It's more cost effective to just get the soldier all jittery and paranoid on vaccines and drugs and pound it into them that the bad guys are all sub-human. Worked like a charm in Vietnam didn't it?

Pat Tillman's parents are angry:

the lies march on, one after another - if you're not angry, then you're just not paying attention. |
Or maybe you're mature enough to not throw temper tantrums about events thousands of miles away that you have limited information about.
Or to not throw tantrums period and just face life like a rational adult. |

28 July, 2007 THE death of American hero Pat Tillman has been exposed as a cover-up going all the way to the top in the White House. His shooting in Afghanistan three years ago hit the headlines because he had walked away from a £2million-a-year football contract to join the Army after 9/11. At first the US military claimed the he had died in an al-Qaeda ambush. But weeks after being awarded a prestigious Silver Star, top brass confessed the 27-year-old had been a victim of friendly fire. Now the truth has been found buried in 2300 pages of testimony from US Army medical examiners and only revealed under a Freedom of Information Act request. It shows Tillman was cut-down by an M-16 rifle fired from just 10 yards which left three bullet holes in his forehead. ...More |
