Friendly fire deaths have occured in all of our wars from the Battle of Germantown right up to today. Also the military informing the next of kin that their son died in combat without detailing how, has also been common for the last 235 years.

And that does what you’ve written above have to do with the Pat Tillman case?

It was known to be friendly fire while they were telling the family otherwise - clearly not covered in your points above.

The family was given specific information on the cause of Pat’s death, but it was made up out of whole cloth - again, not covered in your whitewash above.

That is not the problem here, the problem here was commanding officer cover up after the fact, and no real punchment for the officer that screwed up, and then no action on the cover up.
