Tillman Father to Army So-Called Investigator: "F**k You and Yours"

Tillman Father to Army So-Called Investigator: "F**k You and Yours"

Pat Tillman's Father To Army Investigator: 'F--- You... And Yours' (EXCLUSIVE)

snip from (2) Letter:

"You are a General," Tillman's father writes Jones after being presented with a briefing book of his findings. "There is no way a man like you, with your intelligence, education, military, experience, responsibilities (primarily for difficult situations), and rank... believes the conclusions reached in the March 31, 2005 Briefing Book. But your signature is on it. I assume, therefore, that you are part of this shameless bullshit. I embarrassed myself by treating you with respect March 31, 2005. I thought your rank deserved it and anticipated something different from the new and improved investigation. I won't act so hypocritically if we meet again."

"In sum: Fuck you... and yours."

6. And that, my dear friends
is how you speak truth to power. Mr. Tillman, I can only hope and pray that someday you receive the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on the death of your son.

8. Horrified, yes. Surprised...no
The military, like any institution acts no differently when confronted with "inconvenient" facts.

RIP Pat Tillman, and bless you for your sacrifice. I only hope your family finds justice some day.

I cannot imagine the pain that the Tillman family is in, but I could certainly feel it in those letters.:(

13. Please do a Google search and check out Pat and Marie Tillman's wedding photo
I'm not sure if we are allowed to repost photos here now, but to look at it is to feel your heart break.

There are thousands of young men and women who've gone off to these wars and died for a lie. Somehow, though, that photo made me cry. Despite his proficiency on a football field, he was just a guy. In love with a girl. He didn't come back to her. His life and his memory has been monstrously wasted by the US military, as are the lives and future health of thousands of our soldiers.

Congratulations to Mr. Tillman for standing up for their family. It makes me sick to know even one soldier paid for this with their life.

14. The biggest service the TILLMANs have done is to expose military deviousness to vets
When it happens to high-profile people, imagine the lowest of the low who have similarly been profoundly wronged but without anybody paying attention.
