152. Sorry, Rangers are not that good. Even one of the best snipers wouldn't
be that good. I know quite a few crazy-as-hell, gung-ho Rangers myself who would certainly argue Tillman's death wasn't intentional, but they would never claim they or anyone else could shoot someone like that under those circumstances. Those soldiers are lying.

First of all, the fact he was shot 3 times in the head is alarming. If you shoot someone in the head, they fall down! How the hell do you shoot them in the head 3 times? In almost in any case, you would have to be standing over them to deliver the next 2 bullets especially to the forehead.

Also, these highly-trained special forces guys wouldn't have noticed that the enemy would NOT set off smoke bombs so they could be seen more clearly????

This story makes no sense and whether it was intentional or not, these guys are lying their asses off.

Even if you think it was "gross negligence" and "an unfortunate act of war", why not call for a complete, independent investigation and require everyone involved to participate fully?

I know if it were my husband who was killed under those circumstances, I would go to my grave fighting for the truth!
