“Lost his life in a very unfortunate way” he was murdered by his own men and the US Army tried to cover it up but failed. Yes Pat Tillman enlisted along with his brother after 9/11 because he fell for the same propaganda that the military and government continues to push onto citizens to this day. He regretted enlisting after seeing the death and destruction happening in the Middle East because of the US. Once he saw how many innocent people they were being tasked with killing and how many communities they were destroying, he began writing about it in his journal while on deployment. He planned to speak about his experience when he returned home. The US Army found out and killed him by setting him up so his own men shot him from behind. His family wasn’t told by the military that he died and instead found out from the media. They also were denied his personal belongings and US Army officials refused to give them details about his death until much later. They also never conducted a proper investigation into his death. His family fought the US military through congressional hearings and has continued to speak about the lies and propaganda spread after 9/11 to encourage young men and women to sign up for a war they didn’t even understand. The US Army had continued to lie about Pat’s death to create a heroic tale of sacrifice to entice young men to enlist. His family have asked that his photo and name not be used on US Army recruitment posters yet the Army has continued to ignore their wishes and still uses Pat as recruitment bait to this day despite murdering him. Your post is exactly what his family is asking people not to do. Pat Tillman should be remembered as a hero but not for enlisting in the Army. He should be remembered as a man of incredible integrity and morals who saw something that wasn’t right and did everything he could to speak up about it in hopes to stop it from continuing. He was killed for wanting to tell the truth and THAT is what he should be remembered for. He was an honorable man and did not deserve what his own country did to him.
