This guy was a true American hero....and we have jackasses starting threads about Snowden and Manning.

Poor guy got killed by his own troops and the govt tried to cover it up. I think all 3 are heroes.

So you are saying the government covers up shit like the truth from it's people? The very same people that pays their salaries? Nonsense!!!!

I mean, say what you will but there are certain things a guy like Nick Pappagiorgio doesn't need to know. Why Tillman died isn't one of those things though. How we respond to threats in the air is. There's a difference.

There are definite things that I dont need to know Enfuego. My point is that there are a number of politicians, military men and Presidents that have used the National Security term as a safety net so their possibly illegal misdeeds can be hidden.

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

In the case of Tillman, the fog of war just happened and a good man died as a result. It could've happened to anyone out there. There was no need to cover anything up.
