Re: Pat Tillman Update
It's disgusting that the truth behind his death was hidden and lied about even to his family. And even more disgusting the way his death was used as political capital to cover for Abu Ghraib.
Ten bucks says we'll never be allowed to know the full truth of what happened.[ QUOTE ]
“I can see it like a movie screen,” Baer said. “We were outside of (a city in southern Iraq) watching as bombs were dropping on the town. We were at an old air base, me, Kevin and Pat, we weren’t in the fight right then. We were talking. And Pat said, ‘You know, this war is so f— illegal.’ And we all said, ‘Yeah.’ That’s who he was. He totally was against Bush.”
Another soldier in the platoon, who asked not to be identified, said Pat urged him to vote for Bush’s Democratic opponent in the 2004 election, Sen. John Kerry.
