Re: Pat Tillman
Afghan is ten times better than Iraq. Comparing the Taliban vs. Saddam is [censored] joke. While it is still a problem BECAUSE of the IRAQ war...all our soldiers are in IRAQ instead of Afganistan so it is starting to unravel.
The vast vast majority of soldiers are poor or at best middle class.
The smoke grenades where a major part...once those went up the soldiers firing were at fault. It is not a case of normal friendly fire...I wouldn't be surprised if several of the soldiers are court martialed and serve prison time.
Its basically like 4 or 5 times the soldiers were ordered to stop firing, that it was our own guys, and for whatever reason they disobeyed the orders and kept firing till finally they blew off Tillman's head.
I never realized his brother was there when he was killed.
