During this Iraq "war", we've had several events to attempt to "rally" American sentiment, most notably the plight of Pat Tillman.
When he was killed, he became the poster boy for America; the tough, strong NFL star that gave up his multi-million dollar contract to patriotically defend his country, as Willie Mays and Ted Williams did during WWII.
It was reported that he died valiantly at the hands of the enemy but then documents showed that he died by friendly fire and the information was covertly suppressed by our own government.
Now there is evidence that shows he was not accidently shot but intentionally murdered while Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments.
Can our government be corrupt that it would intentionally murder Pat Tillman to use it as fodder to promote an unpopular war?
