NIGHT STALKER Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have to tell you and this is very difficult personally because I am a former Army Ranger, but in combat, s hit like this happens way more than you realize. Now, I am not going to go into specifics, but when I was in Nam, I know of several occassions when friendly fire took out some of my own men and the Army classified it as KIA. Tillman was a high profile guy and I guarantee you that if it was just some ordinary "Joe" from Bosie, Idaho, nothing would have been made of it. Again, I am not condoning the action by the Army or any military branch for that matter, I am just stating that it is SOP in a lot of cases...not all.

Sharrow Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Its a shame what happened to this guy, but its ridiculous how some people in the government/media have gone out of their way to misportray his death for their own agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
