Rare post on the ongoing war...

This is why you keep asking questions. Too many nice guys, too many jokey jokes passing, not asking themselves: What happened on your watch?

Go Tillman family.

"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.

...
In his last words moments before he was killed, Tillman snapped at a panicky comrade under fire to shut up and stop "sniveling."

Lots of dumbfucks out there.
That's why you especially hate to lose stock like Tillman.
Tillman's mother, Mary Tillman, who has long suggested that her son was deliberately killed by his comrades, said she is still looking for answers and looks forward to the congressional hearings next week.

"Nothing is going to bring Pat back. It's about justice for Pat and justice for other soldiers. The nation has been deceived," she said.

Say what you will, but she's no Cindy Sheehan this one.
Not raising those men. I don't see "shrill"in the copy...
