RIP Cpl Tillman.
Bush had nothing to do with trying to cover up how his death occurred. Terrible shame and this and other leadership bs had lasting effects. When Jim Mattis was SecDef some of his personnel recommendations were based on decisions that were made back then over leadership and cover ups.
His memorial page even still bothers me in it’s tone And phraseology:
“On April 22, 2004, Pat Tillman was fatally wounded when his Ranger unit came under fire during combat operations in southeastern Afghanistan. After he was medically evacuated from the scene, he was pronounced dead by U.S. officials at approximately 11:45 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.”
