What I respect most about him is that not only did he join the military and die for our country, but he gave up millions a year from the nfl to do so.

Really sad that his life was cut short by friendly fire though.

Bump -- CNN is reporting today (04 MAR 2006) that the Army's Criminal Investigation Division has been ordered by the Inspector General's office to conduct a criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

I really don't know what to say because it's stuff like these where you realize how limited language is.

I realize that there are friendly fire deaths in almost every war and it is very sad whenever it happens. What is being looked at is whether there was more to meet the eye than just a 'friendly fire' accident.

For instance, if the person who shot Tillman saw that he was wearing a US Military uniform and still shot at him then criminal charges would NOT be out of line. There are some reports coming out of the investigations that are disturbing to the investigators who think that further delving into the facts are warranted and the IG has directed the CID to follow up the investigations and report back with their findings. It is a sad commentary on the bravery and performance of our military that this investigation was deemed necessary ... but ... Tillman's life and death deserve the truth and nothing but the truth.
