Army used Pat Tillman's death for propaganda

[paineinthearse]

Killed by friendly fire and known immediately, they took weeks to inform his family members. And did so AFTER the propaganda value had been played out.

his life and death by using it for propaganda.

5. I don't know what's more repulsive, the indecency of

what the pentagon did to Pat Tillman or the LACK OF OUTRAGE over it! WTF? even here in DU.....is this really only worth sarcastic remarks, a few (VERY) few posts since 8-9 AM??

Tillamn gave all... and ALL he & his amily got back was the bottom of the pentagon/military/USA BOOT! THIS should be all over the news NOT Jackson&RunawayBride

DESPICABLE!

6. I guess someone needs to answer the question:

what did at Tilman know and when did he learn it?

Why did the military burn his effects rather than send them home with his remains?

What were the army rangers up to that didn't meet his sense of justice and patriotism

etc., etc, for pete's sake, etc
