Kevin Tillman Should Shut the Hell Up

Yesterday I saw a picture of Pat Tillman's mom on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle. It has been thirteen years since my wife and I knew the Tillmans in our common neighborhood of Almaden Valley in San Jose, California. She looked older and more tired, but that's to be expected from the army's clusterfuck that killed her son in Afghanistan. In the chaotic stupidity that killed Pat Tillman, I have no feeling but anger, frustration and disgust for the morons who shot him. You would think U.S. Army Rangers could differentiate between Muslim terrorists and a fellow soldier wearing the same uniform.

Nevertheless, I think Kevin Tillman (Pat's younger brother, also an Army Ranger) is something of an asshat. He has been spouting leftwing B.S. ever since, disparaging the cause that Pat Tillman went to war to fight for, and in the process, dishonoring his own brother. Kevin also has posted anti-American B.S. on leftwing websites.

Here's what Powerline had to say about the hearings of the past week in which it was claimed that a government conspiracy attempted to cover up the true facts of Pat Tillman's death.

There is no question that the initial misreporting of the circumstances of
Tillman's death was stupid and improper. The claim of a government
conspiracy to cover up the facts, however, is ludicrous. If you read the
fine print in the article linked above, you find that Tillman died on April
22, 2004. His family was told that the cause was friendly fire on May 29,
2004, barely a month later. The same day, the Army publicly announced
that friendly fire was the apparent cause.

So once the facts became clear and the matter rose to a level above the
commanders in the field, the Army publicized the result of its investigation.
For the Democrats and Kevin Tillman to try to make political hay out of this
one-month delay, three years after the fact, casts them in a worse light than it
does the Army.

So the Army waited a month after Pat Tillman's death to determine the facts and report that he was killed by friendly fire. Some coverup. Some conspiracy.

Some advice for Kevin: Shut the Hell up, Kevin. You're an idiot.
