This is the THIRD investigation into his death.Isn't it Move-Along Time yet?
Looks like the Tillman family, which has turned against "Bush's War" is looking for some lieutenant's @$$.
I've heard that in most wars up to 25% of casualties are caused by friendly fire. I remember sitting one night on a hill north of the Namo River in Vietnam, watching two patrols from Mike Company in a firefight with each other. We could tell by the color of the tracers that they were both American units. We called Mike Co. on the radio to break the news to them.
It happens...
I appreciate your posting this, but I think it is simply a witch hunt.
It was an accident that occurred in the heat of battle. Did a responsible party make a mistake? Yes, probably. Did they violate ROE? Yes, probably. Did they intend to do it? No. Is prosecuting someone going to prevent this type of accident from happening again? I doubt it. All it is going to do is ruin someone who is probably already ruined.
I just think it is a waste of time and counterproductive in every way. Just my opinion.
