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.

WASHINGTON - A Pentagon investigation will recommend that nine officers, including up to four generals, be held accountable for missteps in the aftermath of the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, senior defense officials said Friday.
The Defense Department inspector general will cite a range of errors and inappropriate conduct as the military probed the former football star’s death on the battlefront in 2004, said one defense official.
The official, who like the others requested anonymity because the Army has not publicly released the information, said it appears senior military leaders may not have had all the facts or worked hard enough to get the facts of what happened on April 22, 2004, when Tillman, a corporal, was killed by members of his own platoon.
