The military and the US government completely failed Pat Tillman and his family.
After giving up a lucrative NFL career and joining the military, Tillman is gunned down in 2004 by friendly fire. As if this was not bad enough, the Army, violating it's own protocols, refused to admit to the cause of Tillman's death when it happened, and also lied about it to his family at his memorial service. McCain was present there for a photo-op but was apparently too busy to provide this family with any assistance in getting to the truth and having it made public.
This is outrageous treatment of the memory of a US soldier and the family and life he left behind.
It's a shame that someone like Dick Cheney, who lately has so many comments to make about so many things, could not have focused his swarm of contacts to get this resolved for this family. 5 years is too long to wait have the truth of the matter acknowledged.

- I like to keep a little mystery about myself but I am a mix of Black Lab, German Shepherd, and Pit Bull. I come up with insightful things to say and my human types them for me. I am more well-traveled than many humans and I know what pets like to do and where they like to stay.
