122. I spoke up about this a good while ago and got accused of wearing a
tinfoil hat.

Not only were there 3 shots to the forehead on Tillman, but according to the original story, the guys who shot him were running downhill. Yea, sure! Three, nearly perfect shots to the head while running downhill...hhhmmmm. Also, Tillman and his group had separated from this other group so all these guys knew they had fellow soldiers out there and when they started shooting at his group, Tillman set off smoke bombs. Now tell me, what enemy is going to set off smoke bombs so they can be located and targeted more easily?!?!?!?

The uniform being burned and diary missing just adds even more concern.

I will say from what I have heard and read, many of the guys in his unit liked him. He was really down to earth and did grunt work just like everyone else even if he out-ranked them and didn't have to do the work. I have wondered if some of his views had caused a division among his unit. Hard to say.

I've smelled BS about his death from day 1. Something is just not right.

Nobody will probably ever know the truth as long as the investigation is conducted by the Pentagon/DOD/military. It needs to be done by a completely independent party. It will still be difficult because I am sure the DOD, etc. will make it unbelievably hard to get any info.
