You'd think from those tweets he was killed by the taliban and not by some chicken shite guys in his own unit while carrying out a pointless operation to remove a broken down vehicle.


What does how he died have to do with or change anything in those tweets?

Maybe I'm reading too much into character-limited tweets, but i felt like the tenor of them was along the lines of the propaganda story. Ie he heroically sacrificed his life while holding off a bunch of evil terrorists. IDK, the whole episode upsets me.

Several years ago around memorial Day, I was on the interstate when I heard some sort of radio ad celebrating Pat Tillman and mentioning that he lost his life during an enemy ambush. I was furious and no shite, called the Tillman Foundation to report it. His death and aftermath should be a cause for national outrage. shite like that shows the cover up is still ongoing.
