i ask you what is that stink that you smell? The article states:
The U.S. Army determined days after Army Ranger Pat Tillman's 2004 death in Afghanistan that the former NFL player had been killed by friendly fire, but kept it secret for weeks and even destroyed evidence, Army officials said this month.

Why do you choose to side with ARMY PR hacks rather than this hero's parents?
