I wasn’t aware of this...

I knew he died of FF, but I never realized it mostly likely wasn’t an accident.

That’s fucked

It was in a firefight, it's not like his fellow soldiers just decided to murder him for no reason.

Was there not a firefight going on, or did they just execute him for no reason?

He was murdered in cold blood for his fame and fawning over he had from the brass/vip's/women, you have no idea how much others hated him for it. Him being critical of Iraq was simply an excuse.

"He was insubordinate and threatened the mission/safety of our assets..." or some such shit was said, to the grunts and Rangers that questioned anything about the killing.

It really pisses a lot of men off when you don't have to even ask for sex from women, let alone ever pay for it.

Then there are the closet homosexuals enraged for their feelings toward famous and attractive men, feelings they cannot hide whenever men like Tillman came into view or came to mind. Him in their unit had to drive them insane.

My better half, "I could never work side by side with you and not sleep with you... it would be too much of a tease, day in and day out, I'd have to act on it or quit the job."

Imagine if you could not quit (deployed downrange) and the only solution was "ending" the problem.

Think the gang of butch queers in the movie, Shawshank Redemption.

He was most likely assassinated. He was shot from close range, while waving his hands. He would have been the POSTER BOY for anti-war when he got back.

His brother KO'd the military in his testimony- this is probably the best part https://youtu.be/NsVCIWI75gc

Never forget that Tillman also was staunchly anti-war and had been in communication with his brother before his death and had apparently conveyed his personal journal he had written a lot of anti-warmonger Bush stuff and was set to become a largely outspoken anti-war guy, who likely would have had a bigger platform given his NFL player status...

The "Friendly fire" incident, imo, is suspicious because all of his personal belongings got burned to ashes, his journal was never found, possibly burned, and he was shot 3 times in the head with .556 rounds... Friendly fire 3 bullets to the head? Definitely fishy.

In the investigation several of the soldiers provided falsehoods. There were witnesses in the report that stated that he had shouted his name and who he was before he got fired on. One soldier said he heard Pat Tillman yell at the top of lungs, with his hands in the air "I'm fucking Pat Tillman! I'm Pat Tillman God Dammit!" immediately before the barrage of gunfire killing him.

Guy likely got whacked by the pro war Bush mafia. So sad. This is why we need Trump for another 4 more years more than ever. They want him to just be a bump in the road. We need Trump in the final 4 years to really take the gloves off the deep state and the military industrial complex more than ever before... If they pull off their election coup this fall, they will try everything to undo the changes Trump was making...

Tillman would not take a knee... And be ashamed of any 'Pede who watched the game when the players do take knees.

Viewers are providing financial support to Marxists who want to violently overthrow our country.

Viewers now are no better than BLM and Antifa, because THEY ARE funding them.

Stars and stripes, or Hammer and Sickle........... CHOOSE. If you aren't with us, you are against us.

Real men don't pretend football is man building sport. The NFL and college football have so few. The sport Nd moneybdpnt make you. Most of you still can't read when football us over.

Lots of bullshit in this thread. Pat was not ‘assassinated’, and suggesting that he was is ridiculous. The idea that the pentagon would use a spec 4 to merc Pat Tillman is ridiculous bullshit.

Just two cents -- you don't JOIN the Rangers.

You volunteer -- then go through infantry school...

Then you volunteer again to go through jump school...

If you're on top of the heap -- and you volunteer yet again, you might quality for RASP or the Ranger Assessment Program -- which is Hell on Earth.

And if you get through all of that, you get assigned to a Ranger regiment where if you're still one of the best among so many who are also one of the best -- and if you're willing to volunteer for more Hell, you get to try Ranger School...

...and after all of that, you get your Ranger tab.
