I believe that Pat’s death was a tragic accident. I am curious that we have never heard from his brother who, I believe, was there at the time.

I read a book, or most of it any way regarding Pat Tillman. It was so biased that I didn't finish it. The author hated the military, hated people with religious convictions and absolutely despised anything to do with George W Bush.

If this movie is anything like the book it would be painful to watch.

They’ll blame it all on Bush and Rumsfeld.

“I am curious that we have never heard from his brother who, I believe, was there at the time.”

From the linked article-

“Kevin Tillman was in a convoy behind his older brother, a former NFL star, on April 22, 2004, when Pat Tillman was mistakenly shot by other Army Rangers who had just emerged from a canyon where they’d been fired upon. Kevin Tillman didn’t see what happened.”

“Kevin Tillman, in his testimony, accused the military of “intentional falsehoods” and “deliberate and careful misrepresentations” in the portrayal of his brother’s death.

“Revealing that Pat’s death was a fratricide would have been yet another political disaster in a month of political disasters ... so the truth needed to be suppressed,” the brother said.
