Re: More Pat Tillman

I have a tremendous amount of respect for this guy because he sacrificed a life that was truely the American dream, for a cause he believed in.
However, at least in the San Francisco Bay area, the press is going on and on about how his family feels betrayed because the Army didn't tell them right away that he was killed by friendly fire. Honestly, does it really matter that much? It's war. [censored] happens. Bad things happen. No doubt the Tillman family is upset but it's not like this is a major scandal. Why does it deserve congressional hearings and non stop press coverage?

it is that they lied...created a coverup of that lie...and it was done not to spare the family any extra grief...but so they wouldn't look bad and could create great PR for the Army/War/etc.
They basically used his dead body as a marketing tool.
