The Tillman Story

Post by sandinista » Sun Oct 03, 2010 7:26 am

Looks like an interesting film. Always good when the lies and deceit of the military is exposed. You can always be sure that when one cover-up is unraveled it usually means it's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Released in August.
Jesus man, how can you expect to criticise the US establishment if you aren't even in sync with the materials?

All I knew about this was that Tillman was killed by friendly fire and that the circumstances of his death were covered up. I had no idea why. I just figured a friendly-fire death was embarrassing for the military. But I just saw a clip from Bill Maher's show in which Maher interviews Tillman's brother. What I got from that interview was that Tillman may have been intentionally killed by his own. Apparently he was no dummy, and was very critical of Bush's Iraq invasion. It's hard to say just how critical, since his diary was burned.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Sandinista please stop with the personal attacks - this is the second time in less than 24 hours. This post has been reported (and not by any of the posters in this thread so far) and will be up for discussion as soon as some other moderators are on board.

Sandinista - do you honestly desire intelligent discourse on these subjects? I would like to think this is the case, but your visceral reaction to the smallest criticism from anyone says otherwise.

The movie may have been released two months ago, but it was only released in theatres (here in the US) this last week. The story, at least as presented in this movie is not an old story to most of us in North America. I have followed the Pat Tillman story closely from the beginning since he was a personal friend of my husband's and some new stuff comes out in the movie.

how is what I posted any different than this: "It's worse than you think. He's stuck in Nov. 1095."?

You don't even understand the historical reference, do you?

For these reactions. It's wonderful seeing someone so ill-informed exploit every tragedy they can.
