Quote by: PatrickHenry  Stan Goff | Playing the Atheism Card Against Pat Tillman's Family
A Ranger captain was assigned to investigate the death of Pat Tillman-Richard Scott, then commander of Headquarters Company, 2/75 Rangers. Scott carried out his task with integrity, and the Article 15-6 investigation was completed in two weeks. That investigation determined two things: (1) The fellow Rangers who shot Tillman (and an Afghan that the military has never credited with a human being's name) violated their own rules of engagement and were possibly criminally negligent and (2) that the order that led to splitting the platoon-one vigorously and rightly opposed by the platoon leader on the ground-was responsible for setting up the communications breakdown that resulted in the incident. |
But for
Senator McCain the truth would never have come out. "The fellow Rangers who shot Tillman" was as green as Tillman. He was to blame to a minute extent compared to the officer responsible for splitting the platoon for the sake of a broken Humvee. That bastard countermanded the officer on the ground who wanted to dump the Humvee. That I know of, that bastard has never been held accountable. How many more deaths is he responsible for, yet the grunts get it in the neck.
