Want some choice Freeper quotes about the Tillman coverup?

[Bicoastal]

Here goes...

*******

"steelyourfaith": Pat Tillman remains an American hero ... his family not so much.

"Gator101": Probably since the beginning of history there has been a tradition of warriors telling family members back home that a man “died heroically while fighting the enemy” even when that wasn’t exactly the case. The fact that he was there side-by-side on the front with them and happened to suffer a different bit of bad luck than those actually killed by the enemy was just something that others didn’t need to know. The omission of the details isn’t some government conspiracy...it is a respect paid between fighting men.

"Let's Roll": I was going to come on this thread and say that if I were a family member of someone killed by “friendly fire”, I would rather not know that. It doesn’t bring him back and it seems like it would hurt even more. But after reading Pat Tillman’s mother’s quotes, this is just another attempt to lynch the WH. Way to go, Tillman family. Pat would be so proud. Bet you have Cindy Sheehan on speed dial.

"kitkat": We are at war! They did not have to know the truth ever. How did it serve them to know that their son was shot accidentally? It only makes their pain worse. They have been led by the cowardly leftists to the point of making an issue out of it.

Um...Support the Troops & Screw the Troops' Families? :shrug:

ON EDIT: here's a link

ON EDIT: Apparently, this was a followup to another thread, focusing specifically on Kevin Tillman's brother. Some of THESE quotes are even more outrageous. But most can be summed up by the following quote by one "Antonius":

Pat wouldn't want the story of his death to give aid and comfort to the enemies of America.

So, for "story of his death," read "TRUTH," and for "enemies of America," read "HIS PARENTS." :mad:

1. Ever Wonder if any of these asshole's served a day

4. No need to wonder...these are armchair generals...

who would wet their pants and cry for momma when the first few rounds were fired. (And that would just be at the target range.)

[zbdent]

What? They wouldn't be hacking the feet off a classroom shooter

or rushing toward the hail of bullets in a selfless act of heroism?

Say it ain't so!

:rofl:

2. truth hurts to some

3. republicans have never had a problem with the government lying before - why would they now?

[JeffR]

5. "We are at war! They did not have to know the truth ever."

Best description I've ever read of the nightmare years this country has descended into. Even if the accuracy of the summary was totally unintended.

[Old and In the Way]

6. "I would rather not know that. "

Pretty much sums up their entire approach to this administration.

7. fucking big mouth keyboard commandos

join up boys and girls your needed to save iraq !

[tsuki]

8. As a military brat, I agree with Kevin Tillman. Who wrote the Silver

Star recommendation and signed other soldiers' names. That is against the military code.

Freepers have no idea what it is to be a military dependent. What they "need" and "want."

13. Comin' right up...

...you stickler for the truth, you.

16. I'm a dick like that.

[and-justice-for-all]

10. So they prefer being lied to over being told the truth...

..How pathetically sad. Thats why they can take Shrubs ramblings as true, even though he is a fucking liar. They want to be lied to and then find some shallow excuse to take the lies are true.

12. As Colbert said at the WH dinner - "we don't need to know all that"

It's pretty much the core of what makes us different from them.

"But the rest of you, what are you thinking? Reporting on NSA
wiretapping or secret prisons in Eastern Europe? Those things are
secret for a very important reason: they're super-depressing. And if
that's your goal, well, misery accomplished.

"We Americans didn't want to
know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out. Those were good
times, as far as we knew."

11. Snark.

"We are at war! They did not have to know the truth ever. How did it serve them to know that their son was shot accidentally? It only makes their pain worse. They have been led by the cowardly leftists to the point of making an issue out of it."

No, darling, I think what made their pain worse is that their son was shot, and the military, the institution and the country their son chose to serve, covered it up. If I were in a situation like that, I would never get closure. I'd always be wondering what else they didn't tell me.

Nice totalitarian sentiments there, BTW. Truth has that nasty liberal bias.

17. Freepers are sheep, blind, loyal jingoistic sheep, they don't "Get it" that

their little rule doesn't apply to everyone.
