I absolutely do not understand Pat Tillman’s parents. Ok, he was killed by friendly fire. They want the truth. But to deliberately torch the legacy of their son and his legend-—who would want that for their son? If a legend had sprung up that my son was a hero, and gave inspiration to others, no matter what I knew to be the truth, I’d encourage that view.

If the military had turned a hero into a goat-you could understand a parent’s outrage. And why tie Abu Ghraib to their son’s memory ?
Exactly!
