Accidental death by friendly fire is a part of war. But I am afraid the worse part of this war is that like Vietnam and in some cases Korea a lot of our men and women are directly killed because of political intervention.
Tillman had a really big ego. I think the cover-up of the circumstances surrounding his death were intended to portray him as a hero.
It would not surprise me at all if the truth about his death included some stupid actions taken by Tillman and maybe he was partly to blame for his death.
