US Army reviewing combat deaths
This crew just can't get anything right, not even in death

The truth about Pat Tillman's death was concealed for weeks
The US Army is to conduct a review of several hundred deaths of its soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The move comes in response to complaints from families of those who died that they have not always been given accurate information.

In one high-profile case, the family of former American football star Pat Tillman were told he had been killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan.

Corp Tillman died in friendly fire but the truth took five weeks to emerge.

(snip)

The review has been quietly under way for more than two months, but the directive has not yet been sent to units in the field, the Associated Press reported.
