Tillman's Parents Are Critical Of Army

Family Questions Reversal On Cause of Ranger's Death

Former NFL player Pat Tillman's family is lashing out against the Army, saying that the military's investigations into Tillman's friendly-fire death in Afghanistan last year were a sham and that Army efforts to cover up the truth have made it harder for them to deal with their loss.

More than a year after their son was shot several times by his fellow Army Rangers on a craggy hillside near the Pakistani border, Tillman's mother and father said in interviews that they believe the military and the government created a heroic tale about how their son died to foster a patriotic response across the country. They say the Army's "lies" about what happened have made them suspicious, and that they are certain they will never get the full story.

Will the Army's investigation conclude that low level people, i.e. enlisted, were the ones who develop this story about Tillmans death? Or will they concluded or sacrifice a token officer involved?
What a shame, that The Army put ahead it's recruiting possibilities, over a brave mans death.
