Some of his fellow Rangers say that before he died, Pat Tillman expressed his fear that if something happened to him, his death would be exploited by the military and used as propaganda.

I think they killed him, he realized that this was all BS and wanted out. Imagine the poster boy saying this war is bogus. There would be dissenting voices that could dwarf his out. After all he left millions on the table to go to fight the so call terrorist of 9/11. What if he threaten to expose them for the liars we all know them to be now? That would be the difference between a few billion and trillions.

Thank you engineer.

Wasn't it a horse named Boxer, that was used, and then carted off to the glue factory, in the story, "Animal Farm"? Later Boxer became a poster boy for the 'cause'.

The story allegedly was an allegorical account of the Marxist revolutions in the early 20th century, but doesn't the present stink of the same manure?

Remember..."All animals are created equal".

Later being ammended with..."Some animals are more equal than others"!

Lies, and more lies...who cares? Have another beer, and change the channel. I think the "play-offs" are on.

'Manufactured' heros seem to be a staple in this country. While I think that Tillman was a bona fide hero for giving up the glory of the NFL to go to combat, putting his money where his mouth is so to speak, to fabricate a story to glorify his death was just so wrong. He was so prescient in thinking that his death might be exploited.

My understanding was that Pat Tillman had been sent to Iraq after being in Afghanistan but told them that he didn't sign up to fight there. He said that he wasn't going to stay there and fight innocent people. He requested to be sent back to Afghanistan. Since he was still being used as a poster boy the administration saw this as a rebellion.He was used in life and his death. I am sure that his death was not a coincidence and that he was shot by not so friendly fire.This administration is evil and at the very least they were complicit in the attacks of 9/11. IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB!!!!!

That is repulsive. To say that our soldiers purposely killed another soldier.

It's one thing to say that the Administration made him a "poster boy for the cause" by exploiting his death. It's something completely different to say that they had a soldier do it!

Go back to your home on fantasy island.

The fact that you think the government pulled off 9/11 shows your stupidity.

Yes...Bush and Cheney single-handedly pulled off 9/11, the biggest conspiracy EVER, without a SINGLE leak but were unable to plant WMD's in Iraq after the invasion.

" That is repulsive. To say that our soldiers purposely killed another soldier. "

Is it any less repulsive to say that our soldiers purposely raped another soldier? Because one out of three women soldiers are raped by their 'brothers,' and that's only the reported rate.

Another lie. Where is this so called "reported rate".

"The Department of Defense statistics are alarming - one in three women who join the US military will be sexually assaulted or raped by men in the military."

At the DOD web sites.

Or you can read one article that details the horror:

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042808A.shtml

Or where they coverup the real reasons women soldiers die of "dehydration":

http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/vie...

I'd bet the rate's much higher in Iraq. Or maybe it's lower since the GIs have so many Iraqi women to rape:

Try researching facts before you bow down to dogma and call something a "lie."

Where did you dig this crap up. Not one reference to a creditable source. Referencing the same site three times doesn't make it three times as creditable.

So tell Dionys should we do like you and your buddies and punish the rape victims. Should we wipe and lash them, kill them like and your buddies do?

What else do you and your buddies do to rape victims? That is after you circumcise them at the age of 12 without pain medication. Wow, when you guys do it, you do it right.

I don't know anyone who I consider a friend who would engage in this type of action, including the many soldiers I count as my good friends. Can you say the same for the soldiers you support in Guantanamo? Or the solders who rape other soldiers who you're supporting by denying the truth?

Here's your military link:

Study regarding military rapes:

More "fun" by your definition:

http://womenandwar.wordpress.com/2007/04/20/rap...

"The United States has the highest rate of rape of any country that publishes such statistics; 13 times higher than Great Britain and 20 times higher than Japan. "

There's one from 2004. Keep in mind "rape" by your military brethren is a growth industry with more than a 40% growth since that time.

Yes rape happens every where. But I love the "publishes such statistics" part. Where is Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia statistics? Where is Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan statics. OH, they don't publish them. Wonder why?

More "fun"

You pervert. You think this is fun? Does it tell you this in your little book of peace. Is this why you think rape is "More "fun"". Your sicker then I thought.

Right right...keep on talking Rosey. Are you going to tell us that fire doesn't melt steel next? lol

ALL of your conspiracy theories have been debunked in Popular Mechanics and about everything else.

I find it hilarious that you call me a lackey when you are the sheep that believes anything you are told.

dj,

Remember the Vietnam War? Do you recall a term used by some soldiers there called fragging?

For whatever reason Tillman died, some in the Army took it upon themselves to falsify how he died. Did the top brass, including the Sec Def (Rumsfeld) and other civilians in the Pentagon, take it upon themselves to falsify written interview statements and autopsies? Probably, but then we may never know who was responsible.

They know which solider pulled the trigger. He claims it was a case of mistaken identity. There is no great cover up. His brother was there. Did they try and make it look like he died in battle and suppress it was friendly fire, yes. Did they get some soldiers to finally admit what really happened yes. What more can be done I don't know.

CRGHSS,

So why all the BS? Why did testimony from eyewitnesses was changed AND that showed up in Senate hearings?

The least it can be said about this incident is that it was used as a propaganda tool. And who benefits from propaganda in this case? That's why this incident has been taken as a purposeful attempt by this administration to promulgate the war in Iraq. And now with McCain's slip of the tongue about fighting in the Middle East for oil, it becomes more of an issue.

What ever happened to WMD's, bringing democracy, and all the actual BS this administration has foisted on the American people to excuse this totally misbegotten war of choice? Please explain all that sh*t!

crghss,

I know where it happened but the main military effort's in Iraq, hence the propaganda to support that war. And while we're at it, the entire scope of our military incursion is called the War on Terror.

Of course its crazy garbage.

Of course, he will say that he doesn't have the documents because the Jews burned it. It's at the heart of every single nutjob left-wing conspiracy theory, anti-semitism.

Like I said PROOF.

Also who's to say Pat's death didn't somehow change his brothers opinion?

Do you think your Mother would know if you or your brother were against the Iraq war?I've never said that Tillmans death was anything but an accident and I certainly don't believe he was murdered by his fellow soldiers.

Pat Tillman,his brother and his Mother despise the Iraq war and nobody needs to prove it to you,it's just a fact.

This is an out and out lie. His unit was sent to Iraq did their tour of duty and then was sent to Afghanistan. Tillmans input has nothing to due with his units deployment. You are a liar.

Sorry but you must clarify. I can't keep up with the hate you spew.

You're the one denying that women are being raped by their brethren in the military at the rate of one in three. That seems a lot more hateful than calling you out on your constant lies.

Name one lie I've told. Just one. Again WHERE is your 3 to 1 proof(reference your book peddling site again). Rape does unfortunately does happen. You should known you and your kind have to dress your women up in burqa's to prevent it. And that still doesn't work.

rightfromwrong...As in most things, I believe the answers fall somewhere in the middle. Still, there are so many that maintain the belief that: "It can't happen here"!

Any fledgling student of history or human nature, would have to acknowledge the opposite, that not only can it...it has.

avatar
Reply

Yeah...you guys got it.

Every single soldier that has died was really killed by friendly fire because they wanted to vote Democrat...just like Keith Olberman said on air, Bush killed Tillman because he was going to vote for Kerry.

Since we are using our military to kill all of the dissenters, its amazing you haven't been drafted and killed by friendly fire yet.

djrevelky, I didn't read anything about our troops deliberately killing our own. Besides, that would be a "Company" job. Were there not CIA agents in the field? Are therer not now?

Our uberpatriots (CIA) make every soldier nervous. Ever read about the political (or party) officers in the Soviet or German Armies? Do you think we don't employ similar offices? Wake up and smell the cordite!

This government has lied about WMD's, Anthrax, Jessica Lynch, and now Pat Tilman. I feel for his family. Here was a star football player who felt a duty to serve his (lying) country and they killed him. I once read, in covering up his death that his uniform was destroyed.

Of course, tell the world the truth o' enlightened liberals of America.

Just like Keith Olberman told his sheep, Bush killed Tillman because Tillman was going to vote for Kerry.

Your devotion to ignorance is admirable, I'm sure you make Soros proud.

I'm just repeating what you liberals say in small, simple to understand language. You all say that Bush had Tillman killed because he disagreed with him.

And you sheep believe that nonsense.
