If you're going to defend the guy, at least spell his name correctly.

One of the Army values is Honesty. If a leading General can't uphold it, how does that look to the soldiers under him?

His name isn’t that important to me. I think he’s a case study of whats wrong with our Officer corps in this war. So i’ll spell it however i want.

And also, that’s a very childish attitude; to demand that we openly trumpet every innocent error we make. There also needs to be a thought given to “does this help or hinder the war effort”. Thank God Tillman wasnt killed at Slapton Sands, the Tillman family would demand the truth be told. (nevermind how it helps the Germans)

Worst of all to me, is how the family wants that young machine gunner prosecuted.

“One of the Army values is Honesty.”

The Army Values:

Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Selfless Service
Honor
Integrity
Personal Courage

Honesty may well be a inherent in many of the Army Values, but it isn’t “one of the army values.”
