Their actions and behaviors regarding how Tillman’s death was initially reported was reprehensible to say the least. And, as you said, it does not lessen his heroism in the field.

That is all I am saying. He was a hero. He didn't have to go down in a hail of Taliban bullets to earn that respect. I don't know of any "evidence" either way, only what some of those who were on the ground are saying about it. And those some are saying that the brass squelched the friendly-fire story for much longer than they should have. We will find out much more soon.

Ah, but I wonder whose version we will be given? When there is politics being played you can rest assured that spinning will be in full effect.
