Misdirected U.S. machine-gun fire killed Tillman Associated Press WASHINGTON -- The last minutes of Pat Tillman's life were a horror of misdirected machine-gun fire and signals to firing colleagues that were misunderstood as hostile acts, according to an account published Sunday of the death of the NFL player-turned-soldier. Handcrafted by Rolly - ain't it cool!! Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-   Top

"RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" LAST EDITED ON 12-06-04 AT 12:59 PM (EST) I thought this was already known? Certainly up's the suck factor. Edited to add from the article... Emphasis added by me. "Suddenly, he saw the attacking Humvee move into 'a better position to fire on us.' He heard a new machine gun burst and hit the ground, praying, as Pat Tillman fell," the Post reported. The Ranger said Tillman had repeatedly screamed out his name and shouted for the shooting to stop, the Post said. He and others waved their arms, only attracting more fire. Tillman was shot repeatedly by rifles, finally succumbing to the machine gun. The second part of the Post series, published on the newspaper's Web site Sunday night, tells of "a broader Army effort to manage the uncomfortable facts of Pat Tillman's death."   Top

I think parts of it were known, but not the really ugly stuff that's coming out. Handcrafted by Rolly - ain't it cool!! Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-   Top

"RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" The thing that bugs me is the Army knew this before they even released the information that he died and then played it up that he died a hero when they already knew he died of friendly fire. However, what should we expect our military to do? Tell the truth as what is happening in the war on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq....naw.....that would be too much to ask for the American Public.   Top

HobbsofMI 16065 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 01:36 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" Yes, but in war mistakes happen and I can understand the Army softening the blow to the family but to broadcast it to the world and now back pedal. That has to hurt more to the family if they would have been told up front.   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 01:11 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" Good point. Because other people sacrifices their lives, and that's really just as important as sacrificing a lucrative football contract. The 8 Days of Slice. Such a smart girl!   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 02:34 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" Tillman did both. Handcrafted by Rolly - ain't it cool!! Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-   Top

J Slice 13166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 02:41 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" So is that more important?   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 02:43 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" No, but neither is it less important. It is, however, more (for lack of a better word) newsworthy. Handcrafted by Rolly - ain't it cool!! Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-   Top

J Slice 13166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 02:47 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" I wonder how many other friendly-fire deaths have been covered up?   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-06-04, 03:05 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" More than we'd care to count, I'd wager. Handcrafted by Rolly - ain't it cool!! Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-   Top

The teacher gave up alot, too... as did the mom, husband, son... accountant, fireman and IT professional. It's a shame about Tillman. ...and each one that has died... How long to 1000? just say NO to swoops   Top

"RE: Pat Tillman's last few minute" It's a shame about Tillman. ...and each one that has died... Every death that has resulted from this war is a shame, considering the war itself was unprovoked and unnecessary. And I know just who should be ashamed about it.   Top
