More details come to light concering Pat Tillman’s death in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan last April. Two things came to mind while reading the article. Firstly, I couldn’t help but think how different the Armed Forces would be if there were more Pat Tillman’s serving: a soldier/poet spirit with the relative luxury of age (he was 27). Secondly, the Army when given a choice between itself and its soldiers, always covers its own ass.
