I think we need a little more info on the events/interactions between Tillman and his troops before we start drawing conclusions as to just where this case fits into the different types of FF.

Maybe he was "fragged" by an enemy within his own ranks......if so, it would make it a bit harder to characterize him as "just another pawn", n'est pas?

And maybe Patton shouldn't have slapped the soldiers in Sicily, but it can also be argued that Eisenhower shouldn't have relieved the most effective leader he had for a minor infraction, possibly increasing our subsequent losses as a result.........the embarrassment of a shell-shocked individual should never have a price that includes the deaths of those who do not run from enemy bullets and artillery.

To suggest otherwise is to strain the bounds of reason.


Why do I not trust the left?

Could it be that familiarity has reared the distasteful expectation sired by past offense?

Only The Shadow knows...
