True Cause Of The Death Of Pat Tillman Covered-Up So He Could Be Used!
Edited on Wed May-04-05 06:08 AM by DistressedAmerican
The way they have picked out certain folks and tried to make them into the hero face of this war makes me sick. Jessica Lynch was even pissed enough to came out and deny the official reports that she went down firing Rambo style.

If they want to create a public hero can't they find someone who actually deserves the name? I'm sure there are plenty of folks over there under fire who have done extraordinary things. Where is their credit?

Investigator quickly learned ‘friendly fire’ was responsible

By Josh White

Updated: 12:27 a.m. ET May 4, 2005

The first Army investigator who looked into the death of former NFL player Pat Tillman in Afghanistan last year found within days that he was killed by his fellow Rangers in an act of "gross negligence," but Army officials decided not to inform Tillman's family or the public until weeks after a nationally televised memorial service.

A new Army report on the death shows that top Army officials, including the theater commander, Gen. John P. Abizaid, were told that Tillman's death was fratricide days before the service.

Soldiers on the scene said they were immediately sure Tillman was killed by a barrage of American bullets as he took shelter behind a large boulder during a twilight firefight along a narrow canyon road near the Pakistani border, according to nearly 2,000 pages of interview transcripts and investigative reports obtained by The Washington Post.

9. Pat Tillman - Atheist American, Patriot
American Atheist Newsletter: Foxhole Atheist of the month

Foxhole Atheist of the month
American Atheist Newsletter, July, 2004 by Pat Tillman

We have never written a posthumous Foxhole Atheist profile before but this month we are making an exception. Had we known that Pat Tillman was an Atheist, before he died on April 22, we would have written this then. Since the media did such a poor job of reporting on this finding we thought we would do it now.

U.S. Army Corporal Pat Tillman, 27, had a $3.6 million dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals football team but he left football to join the military. According to CNN he was probably killed by friendly fire during a convoy attack in Afghanistan, near the border with Pakistan.

We all learned that Pat was an Atheist when his brother Rich said this at his brother's funeral: "Pat isn't with God," he said. "He's fucking dead. He wasn't religious. So thank you for your thoughts, but he's fucking dead."

"Pat isn't with God. He's fucking dead." Posted by Les

Guess who said that? Pat Tillman’s little brother did during a memorial service at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden in honor of his brother.


<snip>

Pat Tillman made a point of not granting interviews to the media on his decision to quit the NFL and join the Army, he insisted that he not be treated any differently than any of the thousands of other volunteers who had stepped forward to put their lives on the line in service of their country, and it’s clear that he wouldn’t have worn the title of hero comfortably had he survived. He simply did what he felt was the right thing to do and he didn’t want people making a big deal out of it. Which, of course, is part of why everyone is making a big deal out of it.

<snip>

Already there are some conservative-minded folks out there trying to tie Tillman’s story into their personal views on patriotism, honor, and God and so it wasn’t without some amusement that I read of Rich Tillman’s comments to the crowd that had gathered at the memorial service. Reportedly his full comment was along the lines of:

"Pat isn’t with God. He’s fucking dead. He wasn’t religious. So thank you for your thoughts, but he’s fucking dead."


Given all the threats coming out of the FCC as of late over obscene language on the air you can imagine the effect this had on the TV stations providing live coverage. And Rich wasn’t the only one who used such coarse language either.
