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.AJChenMPH said: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.
A question ........ Does it really matter why this is being done? Some of the facts that were uncovered from previous investigations raised some questions and the Inspector General decided that further investigation was warranted and necessary.PJ24 said:[rant]
Nothing about this investigation has to do with justice, or anything else. It is being done because of who Tillman was before he became a Ranger and public pressure from the media. The military made a bad decision to try and cover up the blue on blue when it happened, and now they're trying to cover their butts.
That's all this is about, and they're going to end up hanging up an innocent Ranger or two just to appease the armchair know it alls.
I didn't see an investigation into the deaths of Stan Harriman, Jeff Davis, Dan Pethitory, or Cody Prosser, all killed by friendly fire. But then, they weren't former NFL players.
Grrrrrr!

Isn't it better to have an investigation to uncover the truth than to sweep it under the rug.
The part about Bush pisses me off ...but ... it doesn't change my view (see last post).jackehammond said:The reason everyone is upset about the Tillman death is the commander US forces in Afghanistan issued the press release stating he had died bravely assaulting a Taliban postion "after" he knew that he had died as a result of friendly-fire. This is what upset his parents the most and caused that letter to the editor. Not that he died in combat. But that they had used his death to help President Bush out in the up coming election.
