Death of Tillman

Pat Tillman
One of the worst things about traveling is sitting in the airport listening to CNN. They are so lame. How did they get that gig? Why not play Fox news or something normal?
The latest story I hear as I sit here is about an suspected cover-up involving the death of Pat Tillman. I would be interested in learning more about what his family thinks. The story is that the Army knew a month before it was released to the public that Ranger Tillman was killed by friendly fire. Does it make any difference? Friendly fire is always a problem in battle. It is very tragic but increasingly reported. I would guess it will continue to increase as the weapons used on the battle field increase in lethality. Anyway – the guy was a hero because he volunteered for the Army with the intent to serve his country. He was tragically killed in that service. The method of death is not what determines the quality of the man. There are many soldiers killed in traffic accidents and moving and maintaining their gear. Their death is mourned and their sacrifice should be remembered.
