Pat Tillman was shot 3 times in the back of the head from 10m by a fellow soldier after he started speaking publicly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And we dilute his memory on purpose each year. Makes me sick.
Pat Tillman was murdered by his own men after making it clear he no longer supported what the American military was doing in the Middle East. He planned to come back and expose everything and the military had him killed for it. His family has repeatedly asked that the Army not use his name or photo for recruitment posters or propaganda yet they have continued to do so.
He did not support the crimes of our military and would be appalled to see his name has continued to be linked to it.
An American teenager was taken by ICE agents outside his home after they struck him with their vehicle and tackled him. They refused to accept his ID on the spot.
“So you get this round and your buddy gets the next round?”
“Yes, Dave”
“And you do this back and forth all night… to save money…”
“That’s correct, Dave”
