Every year media accounts post about Pat Tillman, but they never post about him being killed by his own fellow soldiers and how the US military LIED to his parents about it or that he grew to hate the war
He was killed by friendly fire which was covered up by the military. He’s spent the last 17 years being used as a mascot for militant imperialism against the wishes of his family, and likely himself.
I thought that Jon Krakauer’s book on Tillman was quite good. A must read for those who are interested in his motivations for joining the fight and the events surrounding his death.
