| Pat Tillman Cover Up Brief background: Pat Tillman turned down a multi-million dollar NFL contract to go defend, support, the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks. The military used him in life and death and a major propaganda tool. The public was notified often. Now, we learn more details of the cover up of his death. But he was well-known. I wonder how many others this has happened too? Meaning, how many other deaths were not the result of the "official military" findings. Quote:

| Ancient history. This fine young man ... warrior and patriot knew the potential risks of friendly fire in a war. Unless you want me to believe a graduate of the University of Arizona was stupid. Or was it Arizona State ? insult deleted - ST Last edited by stroller : 25-03-2007 at 11:14 AM. |

| I'm glad the military lied ... better his parents believe he died honorably in battle than be put through the grief of their song being used by the commie pinko liberals as a propoganda tool. This whole thing just makes Tillman look like a stupid fool for enlisting when a university graduate should have went in as a commissioned officer. Guess his macho bit him in the ass.

I don't think liberals have written anything about Afghanistan, or the Tillman incident. | |

| "Truth is the first casualty of war" And, btw, SK doesn't know what he's talking about, the lies added to the grief of the parents: Quote:
Shame on Bush and military officers who use the event and lie for political purposes. Trying to pin this on the "liberals" is backfiring very badly, SK, shame on you! | |

| Well, I'm not sure about SK. But he was on shore duty during the whole Iraq war. He was Gung-ho, but didn't even know that Al-Sadr had 5 cabinet positions in the Al-Maliki government. SK had also never heard of the PNAC until I told him to google it. Here's an article for SK. Reminds me of Tillman. Quote:

| It's easy to be a pencil pusher and support a war you are unwilling to fight for. Those are the worst kinds of 'patriots.' There's a word that begins with 'h' that eludes me..... |

Meaning, they were paper-pushers, dong administrative jobs in air-conditioned offices, or even just changing tires of jeeps on a base. In Vietnam, 7/8 of all military personnel were REMFs. 1/8 saw combat. I know and respect people that were in LRRPs (google LRRPS) and other special op. forces. But what I will call B.S. on, is a REMF talking "tough." Paper-pusher, who pretends to have "sacrificed," when they were actually a lost teenager who enlisted because the felt like getting out of their hometown, knowing statistically, they would never even get a scratch. Same as 'Nam; same as Iraq. | ||
