These reports are disgusting. Ranger Tillman was one hell of a man who died via fracticide (which happens in every single war. Though it happens far LESS frequently today than in wars past....but that is never touted).

What should never be forgotten in all this is that Ranger Tillman was most certainly looking to take the fight to the enemy when this tragic friendly fire incident took place. He was leading from the front. God bless him.

And it is complete BS - The notion that no enemy were in the vicinity (the split unit did take enemy fire prior to Ranger Tillman coming back).

It is also disgusting the notion / spin that Ranger Tillman was purposely killed by his fellow warriors. Simply disgusting.

Lieutenant General Stanley McChrystal (JSOC's commander) is one of the best leaders we have fighting this WOT. This nation is safer because of his intensity, balls and willingness to take risks.... The notion that this witch hunt tried to take him down is fked up beyond belief.

McChrystal?

Wasn’t he the Ranger battalion commander in Mogadishu?
