I’m not sure I get it. Sure, at first they announced merely that he was killed in action. But didn’t it come out within a couple of weeks that it had in fact been friendy fire?
Wouldn’t there have be an investigation before an official determination of fratricide was announced?
So what?
BINGO 3X!

Exactly.
A few weeks to evaluate the actual cause is more than reasonable. I remember it annunced that it was friendly fire not that long after the announcement of his death. If it was covered up for years, that would be a different scenario.
This family, unfortunately, thinks it is entitled to more than other military families due to their son's fame. It is really quite embarrassing.

Exactly right on the whole - The bottom line is a few details could have been done differently (his Bro should have been told earlier of the likelihood of what happened).
But the bottom line is Ranger Pat Tillman was a hell of a man who died on this shield while taking the fight to the enemy. He was leading from the front. God bless the man.
Disgusting what those on the left are now doing.....And how they are using his death to indirectly help those enemies that Ranger Tillman was taking the fight to when he died.
