Have no knowledge of the rewarding of the Silver Star, but other than possibly wanting to have a “Real Hero” for the people (does the name Audie Murphy ring a bell) what would be the purpose of this cover up and “things not adding up”? I put those theories right up their with Bush bringing down the Twin Towers.......have you spoken to Charlie Sheen to get his opinion?
But on April 22, 2004, Tillman was killed while on patrol with his unit near the Pakistan border. Immediately, the Army put out the word that he had died heroically, protecting his fellow soldiers in a firefight. A week later, Lt. Gen. John Abizaid, the head of U.S. Central Command, told the press that a day earlier he had discussed "that firefight where Pat Tillman lost his life" with Tillman's platoon leader. On April 30, the Army posthumously awarded Tillman the Silver Star for bravery, stating that Tillman died in a heroic charge up an enemy-held hill. "Corporal Tillman put himself in the line of devastating enemy fire. ... While mortally wounded, his audacious leadership and courageous example under fire inspired his men to fight with great risk to their own personal safety, resulting in the enemy's withdrawal and his platoon's safe passage from the ambush kill zone."
This sounds like a cover up from someone....doesn't it?
