PING!
Why does his college get one federal dollar?
So if I'm reading this correctly, the "Professor" is implying Tillman's death was the result of a deliberate conspiracy by the evil Bush Administration to prevent him from meeting with his idol Chomsky?
I just read this fast...but, did this guy just insinuate that Tillman was killed because of his relationship with Chomsky...and the plans to use his "anti-war, anti-Bush" stance in the run up to the elections???
Didn't seem to work. I think the American people, except for those who don't like any war that is started by a Republican, understand that in any war, there will be soldiers who are killed by their own because of identification problems in the heat of battle, or for many different reasons. It is sad, just as it is when soldiers are killed in any battle, but it doesn't make the overall effort any less noble.
One mention of Chomsky discredits an author and article.
Is there the slightest bit of truth to this story?
I find it hard to believe.
The only truth in this article might be that Pat Tillman was an Army Ranger and was killed in Iraq.
I wonder why this wasn't given a barf alert tag.
Tillman was killed in Afghanistan.
I don't believe a word of this drivel. They SAY he was going to meet with Chomsky. They SAY he hated Bush. Any proof? Sounds like his mother is just a Cindy Sheehan-in-training. She, like Sheehan, does not honor his sacrifice with this crap.
was the embarrassing reality surrounding the futility of his death-the wasting of an iconic American hero.
So does the professor mean we can only be heros if we are a famous football, baseball, hockey, etc., star and under no circumstances should these so-called "stars" join us peons in dangerous situations?????
I'm very skeptical. I understood that Tillman was killed in Afghanistan, but this story says Iraq. A fact like that would be nearly impossible to cover up.
I am sure that before its all over it will be Bush's fault that he was killed, or ordered killed, or whatever they are trying to say.
Everything is Bush's fault, everything! The dems are so hungry for power they are willing to bring down America in the process of gaining power. If they get that power that they so severely seek, will there be a Country left to have power over??
=======================================
In combat, in uniform and in service to his country.
Dog food for people who love to swallow lies.
Indeed. I have never understood the hubub about how he died. It was how he lived that mattered.
"On April 22, 2004, Tillman was killed while on patrol in Afghanistan ..."
