I think it's tragic Pat Tillman, who by his family's statements was not a religious person, had to die in Afghanistan let alone take it in the back from one of his own men in a "friendly fire" incident (although personally, I don't think I'd feel it was that friendly if I'd been shot by one of my own men.) That his death was manipulated by the neo con WHORES when it happened to try and drum up patriotism without revealing this fact that colors the story in a slightly different light as well as how they manipulated Jessica Lynch's misfortune shows the ends that they will go to use people to further their own agendas.

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0529tillman29.htmlWASHINGTON - Pat Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals football player who died in April while a U.S. soldier fighting in Afghanistan, likely was killed by friendly fire, an Army investigation has concluded.
News of that finding was disseminated Friday to some members of Congress and some Tillman family members just as the Memorial Day weekend was to begin, including today's dedication ceremonies in Washington of the World War II Memorial.
"It does seem pretty clear that he was killed by friendly fire," said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which was alerted to the information by the Army's Legislative Liaison Office.
"This does not take away one iota from the heroic nature and courage of the man. The source of that fire is of little consequence in terms of heroism," Franks said. He said that after learning of the Army's conclusions, he made some follow-up inquiries and was satisfied the information was accurate.
