I have the utmost respect and sympathy for the Tillman Family, and understand their ire at being lied to by the Government initially. It was a bad move on someone’s part. However, with that said, Friendly Fire injuries and deaths have unfortunately been part of every war and conflict known to mankind. The Government has come clean on the truth, so it is time for the family and everyone else to stop demanding hearings and apologies. I can’t help but think that Pat Tillman would be upset and embarrassed by his brother’s refusal to let the matter go, and his insistance on military bashing. Hopefully he can move forward and honor his brother as the hero he was in life, and try to accept the unbearable grief on his death.
Sadly very true, but the Army lying to the family and the nation about what happened is the issue.
Pat's death was more than a personal tragedy for the family. It was a huge financial loss as well. It would seem some lawyers are working to help the family recoup some of that loss from the taxpayers. Stay tuned for the lawsuit...
