Quote by: RickSp Dill, the history is interesting but seems somewhat beside the point. The issue with the death of Pat Tillman is not whether he died from friendly fire or the frequency of friendly fire deaths but rather the lies told about the incident, the destruction of evidence and the active cover-up that followed that exteded to the highest levels of the military.

True. Tillman was an asset to their recruitment efforts but in the end he was just another pawn whose patriotic feelings were exploited.
As for the lies, the government, despite its high sounding words, has little actual respect for the troops and even less for dead ones. Lies and coverups mean nothing to a dead soldier's memory.
