the Pat Tillman story....

i just finished watching the Pat Tillman story....

an elite athlete who gave up millions in a NFL contract to join his brother in afghanistan after seeing the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

till man was killed by negligent friendly fire, which was originally covered up, and his death was told in the media as a heroic battle uphills, sacrificing his life so that his fellow soldiers could survive an ambush....

to be blunt.... only george bush would really think that in the 21st century, the information era, that this story would fly, and the truth would never be known... Bushy wanted people to think he was a hero that saved his fellow soldiers in an ambush, whilst the truth is, he was shot by those soldiers that he supposedly "saved" in the false tale....

pat tillman's family, especially his mother, has pursued the truth and justice to pat's death. watching the movie, listening to testomonies, i think the truth is there. everyone knows that he died in a friendly fire, and it was originally covered up... after years and years of media coverage, and as more evidence came out.... the whitehouse admitted they were wrong, but they finally got it right... and put the blame on..... a retired general..... OMFG~~

what makes the family angry is that his death was used as a pubicity stunt, and used as a advertising tool for the military... watching the movie will frustrate the life out of u, coz it's a reality check that corrupt governments seem really f-ed up in movies, but in real life, its worse...

i'd have to say, the part that frustrates the life out of me is... when all the generals, and donald rumsfeld were being investigated, and they could just come up with, "i dont remember, i cant recall, im not sure".... and when a final comment was made, they sounded like schoolyard kids saying, "thats not exactly what i mean, me too... me too... me too"

i think what many people want to see is Bush and his administration put on trial..... after the 2001 attacks, afghan, iraq.... it wasnt sanctioned by the UN, and was originally tagged the "illegal war".... a lot of things have become twisted since then... lies after lies... covering up for another lie..... and now we're left with what we have in 2011.....
