I’m from London saw a really bizarre news story on the US news networks when I visited NY around 18 months ago.
I think the story was this, but please correct my errors:
After 9/11, a talented American Football star called Pat Tillman turned down a big contract to serve in the US military.
He was deployed in Iraq & then Afghanistan, where he sadly died. Initial reports claimed Pat ‘died defending our freedom’ during an ambush with enemy militia. I think he was given a military funeral & became a poster boy for military recruitment.
After a short period, it was reported that Pat didn’t die from enemy fire, but from friendly fire during the militia contact.
Then it was stated that the ambush didn’t even happen. There was no enemy battle.
Pat’s received multiple head shots from friendly fire, his clothes were removed, burned & a cover-up story followed.
I can’t find out what happened as the web is full of different theories, conspiracies, rumour & opinion. So why was he shot?
