It is very sad and frustrating that this stuff happens. A guy like Pat Tillman would probably not want to make a big deal out of this if he were still around.

I just have a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country and it makes me upset to see Pat Tillman's name being thrown around like it has.

He was a hero and I admire his outlook on life. He seemed to be a real special person.

No NUKE, you don't want anyone to make a big deal out of this and persuant to that agenda you are trying to ascribe your motivations and desires to a dead hero. If you are so comfortable about knowing what Pat Tillman would or would not want, why don't you phone his parents and tell them what they are doing is wrong because you know thier son so much better than they do.

What incredible hypocracy.

That being said, it sounds to me like their was an attempt at a cover-up. I don't know how high it went, but it wouldn't surprise me if it went little higher than his unit, at best they certainly did take part in it. And I think I could understand why. I'm guessing a combination of trying to protect Pat's legacy and fear of someone going down in history as the guy that killed one of the most famous Americans to fight in the Afghan War. However, regardless of the form his death did take it does not detract on iota from the nobility of his decision to fight for his country in the first place.

As far as any failures in US Army regarding this incident. There is only one if the coverup was farther reaching than we know. And we just don't know at this point in time. Still, they proably shouldn't have "sold" the story of how Pat Tillman died until it had been properly vetted. Because if they are wrong it's just going to end up bitting them in the ass, much like it is now.

Thanks for proving what a complete, distasteful moron you are Thrawn. You seem to be nothing other than a hateful loser, based on your posting history.

I admire your ability constantly display your poor judgment.

Why am I on your ignore list Nuke?

NUKE · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2005, 04:41:21 PM »

my ignore list is not real. Thrawn is a simpleton and probably is on a lot of ignore lists.

Thrawn doessn't even know what "hypocrite" means apparently. The Day that Thrawn can support any of his moronic statements is the day that sub 100 IQ's are considered intelligent.

I will say again. I have the highest respect for all of the people who serve and have served in the US military. You people are teh reason people like me are able to exist.

Pat Tillman was hero and nothing about his death can change that.

Special Forces are the way to fight terrorist IMO. Pat Tillman was doing the right thing.

NUKE · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2005, 05:01:02 PM »

Pat Tillman was a man who followed his heart. He was a true American hero.

Some of you guys need to get out once in a while. Here's a clue, the world is jaded, Americans aren't the pure virginal heroes of fantasy old, and finally, **** happens.

Btw, I served in the american military, and most of the guys I served with are human.

I removed Pat Tilmans avatar becuase I was attacked for having it.

The way he died takes nothing away from the way I feel about him and the sacrifice he made for his country.

It is not so tragic to me that he died in a friendly fire incedent. Just like the canadians that were bombed by that F16. It happens. And anyone that is supprised that the military would try to lie about what happend is pretty silly.
