Reply #9: Tillman Death Cover-up Just More Of The Same

[DistressedAmerican]

I see the unthinkingly jingoistic headlines that originally accompanied this graphic are just one more sypmtom of the ongoing prowar propoganda fest that still grips the country. This morning's revelation that the Pentagon covered up the details of Tillman's "friendly fire" death to better capatalize on his All American image for propoganda uses makes me sick. They called the guy a hero and repayed him by lying to his family for 6 full weeks after his death. Is that how we treat our heros and their families? These people deserve better.

Remember the massive fiction that was reported about Rambo-like but loveable Jessica Lynch, who to her credit denied the stories once she was well enough to do so. How about her buddy pfc. Johnson. Guess this black girl wasn't the skinny blond or studly pro football player the Pentagon apparently thinks represent the "Best of America".
