Pat Tillman's Mom Seeks Truth

Mary Tillman has been a model of patience and fortitude as she doggedly pursues the facts concerning her son Pat's death in Afghanistan two years ago. In that spirit, she welcomed as positive the news that the Pentagon's inspector general has asked the Army to launch an investigation into whether criminal negligence was involved in the "friendly fire" incident that resulted in the death of her football-star son who turned soldier.

That request by the inspector general, made after a review of three previous investigations, implies a clear rebuke of the military's handling of this case to date. But as much as Mary Tillman and the rest of the Tillman family hope this new inquiry will clear up the glaring contradictions and mysterious discrepancies of the previous accounts, she knows it is not prudent to be overly optimistic.

That's because, quite apart from what happened late that afternoon two years ago, there can now be little doubt that the Bush Administration quickly and cynically moved to spin the story in ways that would serve its political purposes at the expense of the truth.

"The Administration used Pat," Mary Tillman told me in a phone interview on Monday from San Jose. "They tried to attach themselves to his virtue and then they wiped their feet with him."

8. Everybody knows that Pat wasn't that badly killed

And it was Friendly Fire. How bad could it have been? It's not like he was killed by an A-Rabb -- it was friends!

Lots of guys got much more badly killed and they never got a medal for it. Pat Tillman was really a wuss. He couldn't take a little friendly killing without his mom complaining about it. Well boo fucking hoo.

A Real Man wouldn't be whining about it. He'd be out there supporting Bush from the grave. His mom would be harassing teenage sluts at abortion mills.

Besides, he was a hippie, and played football when he was high from shooting up "Mary Jane" and "Steer Royds". (Those are official slang words libbrul druggies use.)

And everybody knows that his mom was a Communist, too -- she had a Jane Fonda hairdo in the '60s!
