Once again a situation of blatant misstatement of fact and the use of a tragic news story to create a hero-myth by the Pentagon comes to the forefront. The real story of Pat Tilman's death is now being exposed. At the time the Army issued this statement:
"He ordered his team to dismount and then maneuvered the Rangers up a hill near the enemy's location," the release said. "As they crested the hill, Tillman directed his team into firing positions and personally provided suppressive fire ... Tillman's voice was heard issuing commands to take the fight to the enemy forces."
they in fact had fourteen sworn statements that he was killed by our own troops, and this entire account is complete fabrication. Given this and all the other stories recently, I can't help but feel that this documentary was correct - The Pentagon is running a major propaganda operation, directed at us, The American People.
