I don’t know much about the Pat Tillman story, but I do have the movie on my Netflix queue right now. I was struck by Richard Tillman‘s words in this interview with Bill Maher, the anger he feels, and the balls he has to say the things he is saying about God and the military. Whether you believe in God or not, support the military or not, the pain he shows speaking at his brothers memorial is poignant. *Warning: Videos contains strong language.
The stats on friendly fire (if what Bill Maher says is true) are concerning: 21% in WWII, 39% in Vietnam, and 52% in the Gulf war. This is not a good trend, but I’ll also be the first to admit I don’t fully understand how to account for it. If you have a theory, please enlighten me. If the military is covering up this incident and others like it, then we should all be very scared.
