Is anyone else getting sick of this? Is Tillman so much more important than other soldiers? Does his family have more pull?
IMHO all have played a place in the protection of our country.
Chills of pride ran down my arms, even tho it was 100 plus.
All of this BS is just anti Bush, anti war, anti troops.
Tillman was an honorable man, who died in an honorable way while serving his country.
I'm also getting tired of the liberal media using this incident to attack military morale and integrity.
His family's grief is being exploited by others to push their political agenda. It is shameful. The actions of some of Tillman's family have also been ...unfortunate. However, they are grieving, so their actions should be taken in that context. However, those who are taking advantage of them in their grief have no excuse and their actions are reprehensible.
“Is anyone else getting sick of this?”
I’m tired of Army leadership trying to manipulate American public opinion by lying about what happened and happens.
It’s not only wrong but illegal. Conducting PSYOP operations against American public. The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, amended in 1972 and 1998, prohibits the U.S. government from propagandizing the American public with information and psychological operations directed at foreign audiences.
"Sadly, Corporal Tillman’s death comes with another unhappy legacy: a ludicrous change in the Army regulation that deals with reporting casualties. With this change, the Army now requires a formal, independent investigation into the death of every American in a hostile area."
What I am sick about is the stupid lies, and the stupid reaction that it generated. This regulation should be annulled immediately. It is utterly ridiculous.
